Authorities searching for driver after hit-and-run fatality in Chula Vista

A 62-year-old man was found unresponsive after being struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver at the intersection of Moss Street and 4th Avenue on Sunday night in Chula Vista, according to a local news article from NBC San Diego.

The accident occurred on Sunday at just before 10:00 p.m. when Chula Vista police located a victim at the intersection of Moss Street and 4th Avenue.  The man was found in the roadway, according to police.  Nearby witnesses say that they found a man in the road after hearing what sounded like a two-car crash.

Additionally, the witness stated that they saw a grey BMW leaving the scene, headed westbound on Moss Street.

Moreover, investigators have said that the suspect vehicle likely has damage to the right front bumper/quarter panel “and is missing a right mirror.”

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the article.  Authorities identified the man as a 62-year-old, although his name was not mentioned in the news release, pending the notification of family members.

Currently, this crash remains under investigation as authorities work to determine the exact cause and liable party in the crash.

Further details will be reported at a later time once the investigation has concluded.
