San Diego, CA (August 31, 2025) – Officers with the San Diego Police Department have confirmed that a body found near the 100 block of Sea World Drive is connected to an earlier hit-and-run collision that happened in the same area.
Officers responded to a two-vehicle collision in that area at around 12:20 a.m. on Saturday, August 30.
