San Diego, CA (December 12, 2024) – On December 12, 2024, 53-year-old Jonathan Ghebru tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run incident near the I-805 North on-ramp at Kearny Villa Road in Serra Mesa, San Diego.
Accident Details: According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Ghebru’s body was discovered in the roadway after being struck by an unknown driver who fled the scene. His family has made an emotional plea for the driver to come forward and for witnesses to assist the investigation. The incident remains under investigation, and the CHP has urged anyone with information to call their San Diego office.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination. Hit-and-run incidents are particularly devastating, as they often deny victims immediate aid and leave families struggling for accountability. They also demonstrate a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm. In cases like this, a wrongful death claim may provide the victim’s family an opportunity to seek justice if the aat-faultdriver is found.
I extend my deepest condolences to Jonathan Ghebru’s family as they cope with this heartbreaking loss. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist the family with funeral expenses.
