Chaos erupted in Bay Terraces yesterday morning after a 55-year-old woman found herself pinned between her car and a curb, suffering a severe ankle fracture. The incident took place on the quiet suburban street of Pinecone Lane, shaking up residents of the area.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the victim, whose identity has not been released, was attempting to control her 2013 Honda Accord after stepping out with the vehicle still in drive, a split-second decision leading to a painful ordeal. The driver was rushed to a local hospital by ambulance for a non-life threatening yet serious injury – the nature of the mishap was specified as a "compound malleolar fracture to the left ankle," per the SDPD Watch Commander's Log.
The accident incited a swift response from the SDPD Traffic Division, who are now conducting a thorough investigation into the peculiar circumstances under which one moment of inattention can spiral into an emergency.
Law enforcement officials are now appealing to the public for any information related to the accident. The call for witnesses remains open as they piece together this jarring event amidst the tranquility of Bay Terraces. The SDPD encouraged those with information to step forward, disclosing that tips can be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
