Nicholas Hoskin, 45, accelerated and intentionally struck the man with the vehicle before taking off, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's DepartmentA suspect in an apparently intentional hit-and-run that fatally injured a 44-year-old man last week on an eastern San Diego County street was behind bars Monday following his out-of-state arrest, officials reported.
Deputies responding to a report that a person had been struck by a vehicle in the 8200 block of Broadway in Lemon Grove about 2:15 a.m. last Monday arrived to find Colvin lying in the roadway, badly injured but conscious.Paramedics took Colvin to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office has ruled his death a homicide.
Authorities did not disclose what led investigators to identify Hoskin, a resident of El Cajon, as the alleged hit-and-run driver. Prosecutors in the San Diego area are working to extradite him back to Southern California to face trial in the case. Colvin's friend, Tommy Rodger, says he witnessed the incident and described the pickup that hit Colvin as a newer model Dodge.“He got hit, and that forced him into the center of the vehicle, and that’s when he went underneath. I saw and heard the whole thing," Rodger said.
