Police Friday were searching for an alleged hit-and-run driver who injured a woman crossing a street in San Diego’s Midway District.

The 48-year-old victim was crossing Fordham Street in the south crosswalk on Midway Drive just before midnight Thursday when the suspect vehicle turned from Midway onto Fordham and struck her, San Diego Police Officer Robert Heims said.

The vitim sustained fractured ribs and a dislocated shoulder and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

After striking the pedestrian, the car continued southbound on Fordham Street, Heims said. The suspect vehicle was described as a dark midsize newer sedan and could possibly have damage to the front or front-left side due to the crash.

Traffic officers were investigating, and anyone with information relevant to the collision was asked to call police at (858) 495-7805.
