A man was arrested Monday in connection with a hit- and-run crash that seriously injured a good Samaritan who was helping two people stranded late at night in a broken-down car in Ocean Beach last month.
Jaron Blake Hillyer, 27, allegedly fled after his Subaru Outback Legacy station wagon struck the 26-year-old man in the 2900 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard shortly after midnight April 9, according to San Diego Police.
The victim, who had pulled over to aid the occupants of a disabled Lexus, was taken to UCSD Medical Center for treatment of a broken leg and internal injuries, Sgt. Victoria Houseman said.
Acting on a tip from the public, investigators found the Subaru in the 4300 block of Orchard Avenue, about a mile south of the site of the crash.
Hillyer was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, and driving with a suspended license and no valid insurance.
