Earlier this week, there was a suspected DUI hit-and-run crash at the Westfield UTC mall parking structure. According to ABC San Diego News Channel 10, the incident happened on Monday afternoon. Initial reports indicate that a 65-year-old woman was entering the mall from the parking structure when she was struck by a Honda Civic. The Civic was being driven by a 33-year-old man and was headed westbound in the drive aisle of the mall on La Jolla Village Drive.  

When the vehicle struck the woman, it hit her right side and caused her to go up onto the car and then onto the ground. The vehicle fled the scene, but law enforcement officials were able to locate and apprehend the driver. The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment of several injuries.
