Authorities are looking for the driver of a silver Honda Accord who ran over and killed a man who was sleeping on a sidewalk in Hillcrest late Friday.

The car was found on Saturday but police were not disclosing where they found it.

The Honda was heading south on Normal Street when it veered to the right. The car went up over the curb and ran over the sleeping man about 11 p.m., San Diego police Officer Robert Heims said.

The Honda driver continued through some bushes and hit a vehicle in the parking lot. Then the driver made a U-turn, turning south on Normal, then east on University Avenue, Heims said.


The pedestrian died before he could be taken to a hospital. His name and age were not released.

No description of the driver was given.
