DUI suspect hits 2 women, tries to flee - The San Diego Union-Tribune
Two women were seriously injured Thursday when a car driven by a 21-year-old man veered onto a sidewalk and struck them, an Escondido police lieutenant said. The driver of a silver Cadillac CTS was making a turn from Escondido Boulevard onto Lincoln Avenue shortly after 4 p. m. when the collision occurred, police Lt. Ed Varso said. The driver ran, Varso said. Joshua Michael Villavicencio, an Escondido resident, was arrested, Varso said. Alcohol is suspected to be a factor, the lieutenant said. Villavicencio was booked into Vista Jail on charges of driving under the influence, driving under the influence causing bodily injury, and hit and run, according to the jail website. The women were treated by Escondido Fire Department paramedics and flown by medical helicopter to a San Diego hospital, Varso said. Source: www.sandiegouniontribune.com
