SAN DIEGO -- More than $14,000 was raised at a fundraiser held on Saturday for the 34-year-old Marine injured in a hit-and-run crash in Rancho Bernardo.

More than 700 people attended the event for Gunnery Sgt. Dave Smith, who remained hospitalized in critical condition following the July 31 crash, according to event coordinator Tina Hook.

"People have given tremendously today," said Hook, who was referring to Saturday's event, which was held at the El Cajon Harley Davidson dealership.

Smith is a 17-year veteran who deployed four times and survived a roadside bomb blast. He was awarded a Bronze Star for valor.

Police said Smith had stopped his motorcycle at a red light while riding east on Bernardo Center Drive, near West Bernardo Drive.

Police believe Jessica Marie Bloom was behind the wheel of a Chevrolet TrailBlazer that hit Smith. Bloom remained jailed in connection with the crash.

Prosecutors in the case said the crash launched Smith onto the hood of the SUV, and into the street. Police said Bloom fled from the scene.

Bloom was later arrested and her blood alcohol was measured at .37 percent, more than four times the presumed level of intoxication, according to the prosecutor.

She faces up to nine years in prison if convicted.
