    Police said Hudson was riding his bike on the sidewalk of Pacific Beach Drive around 3:45 p.m. When he crossed the alley near Ingraham Street, investigators said a 32-year-old woman struck him with her car while turning. For several seconds, the driver stopped, police said. Then she took off, running the boy over in the process.

      I grew up there. People zoom down PB Drive with no regard for anyone. And people use the alleys to bypass traffic whenever they feel like. I also learned to ride my bike in an alley in PB, very common for kids to do so. I hope this woman gets tossed in jail for a very long time.

        Once when I was young, I experienced a collision on my bike with a hoopty in a parking lot. I got skinned up but my bike wasn’t bent up, and the guy felt terrible. Put my bike in the trunk and took me home a few blocks away, apologizing the entire ride, and I’m not even sure who was at fault. Those days are long past. I guess.

        I heard of a recent hit n run nearby that killed a pedestrian, guy left and returned, asking what happened. He’s scot free, didn’t even make the news.
