A hit-and-run at an Escondido intersection left a pedestrian dead Tuesday, authorities said. Miguel Leonides Garcia, 58, was crossing the street to the west at Broadway and Mission Avenue
when a white “off-road style” SUV struck him shortly after 6 a.m., according to the Escondido Police Department. Following the impact, the driver of the vehicle — which was outfitted with a
large spare tire and a red jack attached to its back end — continued driving, fleeing to the north on Broadway and then east on Lincoln Avenue, police said. Paramedics took Garcia, an
Escondido resident, to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
