The incident, reported shortly after 9:00 am, took place at block 1400 on B Street, near San Diego City College. The suspect driver initially fled the scene, but was later arrested, said Lockwood.
“The way he drove on the sidewalk, it was like he didn’t take his foot off the gas until he got to the other side of the street,” witness Ronnie Williams told CNN’s KGTV as he sat on the sidewalk.
“I’m like wow! Is this guy going to stop?” Williams said the driver got out of the car, hid his face and “drove away casually”.
Michael Luke told KGTV that the driver remained on the scene and looked disturbed.
“I saw the cart move and things started to appear … and to crawl … Horrible,” said Luke.
The investigation is ongoing.
