Bird Rock Community Council seeks witnesses to drive-over at roundabout
The Bird Rock Community Council is seeking witnesses to a drive-over at one of the La Jolla Boulevard roundabouts that caused damage recently.
The incident occurred overnight between April 30 and May 1 at the southwest corner of Camino de la Costa and La Jolla Boulevard, Maintenance Assessment District representative Barbara Dunbar told BRCC during its May 4 meeting.
“It appears a large vehicle drove over a portion of the roundabout and into the landscape area, displacing several boulders and plants, and then hit the tree and cleared a section of the trunk,” Dunbar said. “We believe we can save the tree, but that is being investigated. The vehicle took out the pedestrian cross signal before hitting city infrastructure. There was so much force it sheared off a 3-inch metal pipe at ground level.”
