Suspected DUI Crash near Bankers Hill Resulted in Fatality

SAN DIEGO, CA (October 6, 2022) – A pedestrian was pronounced dead after a suspected DUI Crash on Fifth Ave, police said Sunday night. 

The fatal accident happened shortly after 10:00 p.m., near the Bankers Hill area. 

According to the report, the northbound Penske truck veered to the right and side-swiped a parked vehicle. Afterward, the truck continued over the raised curb and hit a male pedestrian. The vehicle then came to a stop after striking a building east of Fifth Avenue. 

Medical responders later declared the pedestrian dead at the scene after sustaining fatal injuries. However, his identity has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.
