4 Detained in DUI Hit-and-Run Crashes Ending at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard in San Diego

 
SAN DIEGO, CA (August 12, 2022) — Four people were arrested in several DUI hit-and-run accidents ending at Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Highway 163.
 
According to San Diego Police, the series of crashes started around 4:45 a.m. Thursday. For DUI reasons, a driver in a gray Nissan pickup struck a black Tesla on a Point Loma street. Rather than stopping, the driver of the Nissan drove away, leaving the Tesla driver to pursue the vehicle.
 
Subsequently, the pickup truck crashed through a front yard and sideswiped a house on Meadowlark Drive, causing property damage to the premise. However, the driver drove off again with the Tesla still trailing behind.
 
The chase between the two cars then continued onto Highway 163 North, where the Nissan slammed into a car and a guardrail on the Clairemont Mesa Boulevard off-ramp.
 
Fortunately, no one reported any injuries in the accident, but four people did exit the truck and try to run. However, San Diego police officers and California Highway Patrol officials were able to apprehend all four of the occupants, three of whom had been juveniles.
 
At this time, officers believe DUI played a role in this incident. More investigation should confirm any unclear details.
