SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A 47-year-old man who was buckling his child in a car seat was hit by a vehicle and seriously injured in a Food 4 Less parking lot in the El Cerrito area on Sunday, San Diego police said.

The incident happened around 3 p.m. in the parking lot of the grocery store on University Avenue west of College Avenue. The driver didn’t stop after the crash, police said.

The vehicle was going west through the parking lot when the driver veered left for unknown reasons and struck the man, pinning him against his 2017 Toyota Corolla, police said.
