A 33-year-old man was thrown from the hood of his car after trying to stop a teenager from stealing his vehicle Sunday morning in Coronado, officials said.
At 5:20 a.m., Coronado police received a call that a tan sedan was driving on Orange Avenue with a person on the car's hood.
The owner clung to the hood and yelled at the 18-year-old driver to stop, but the teenager kept driving, according to police. The teenagers in the car eventually jumped out, crashing the vehicle into the San Diego-Coronado Bridge toll plaza, investigators said. Officers found the car facing the wrong way and smashed against the concrete toll structure.A man was thrown from the hood of his car after trying to stop a teenager from stealing his vehicle Sunday morning in Coronado.
