Darren Stevenson, 54, succumbed to his injuries Sunday morning. Police are still looking for the driver who struck him last month then fled.
Authorities have publicly identified a homeless man who died last weekend from injuries he suffered nearly a month earlier in a Balboa Park-area hit-and-run crash. Darren Stevenson, 54, succumbed to his injuries Sunday morning at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. Stevenson was walking south with a companion in a bicycle lane on Pershing Drive just east of Interstate 5 about 8:15 p.m.
on April 3 when a car struck him from behind, leaving him with a brain hemorrhage, a collapsed lung and fractures to his skull and spine, police said. Following the impact, the motorist continued driving and left the area. Based on vehicle debris left at the scene, investigators think the vehicle that struck the victim may have been a black 2007-12 Toyota Camry. The car lost a passenger-side mirror and possibly sustained other visible damage when it hit Stevenson, according to police.
