(FOX 5/KUSI) A woman’s body was found more than 12 hours after she may have been struck during a hit-and-run crash between two vehicles early Saturday morning.
San Diego police said the crash happened on Sea World Drive near West Mission Bay Drive around 12:20 a.m.
Officers who responded discovered that one of the drivers fled on foot after rear-ending another vehicle, pushing it off the roadway.
Both vehicles were still at the site when officers responded, and the roadway was cleared at about 2 a.m.
Around 1 p.m. that same day, police were called back to the area after a report of a person’s body being found.
Police said the woman found dead was 61 years old and was likely a victim of the earlier crash, although officers at the time did not know that she was nearby.
Police said there is no suspect in custody and did not provide details of a possible suspect or of the driver who fled.
