SAN DIEGO - Authorities reached out to the public for help in identifying a driver who fled the scene of a Balboa Park -area traffic accident that left a pedestrian badly hurt.
The car the motorist was driving hit the 54-year-old victim from behind as he was walking to the south in a bicycle lane in the 1300 block of Pershing Drive at about 8:15 p.m. April 3, according to the San Diego Police Department.
