A motorist who fled after running over a sleeping woman in an East Village parking lot was sentenced Wednesday to six years in state prison.
Ricardo Avila Carrillo, 34, pleaded guilty to hit-and-run causing injury.
Carrillo was arrested three days after the May 12 incident, which occurred about 2:30 p.m. in the Ace Parking lot in the 1300 block of National Avenue.
Georgia Anne Veale, 49, suffered lacerations, bruising and a broken bone in her neck, said Deputy District Attorney Miriam Hemming.
Carrillo got out of the Jeep and shouted for help before moving his SUV forward, off the woman, as witnesses pulled her out from underneath, according to San Diego police Officer Kazimierz Lewak.
Moments later, Carrillo drove off to the east on Imperial Avenue without leaving any identifying information.
Veale told an investigator that she did not have a clear recollection of what happened to her, according to the prosecutor.
