Suspected Hit-and-Run Driver Arrested After Allegedly Breaking Into House

Parolee Benjamin Nicholas Davidson, 28, of El Cajon, is suspected of causing the hit-and-run crash at Fuerte Drive and Grossmont Boulevard.

A suspected hit-and-run driver was in custody today on suspicion of causing a head-on collision in La Mesa, injuring another motorist.

Parolee Benjamin Nicholas Davidson, 28, of El Cajon, is suspected of causing the hit-and-run crash at Fuerte Drive and Grossmont Boulevard shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, according to La Mesa police.

A patrolman was attempting to pull over the driver of a Saab sedan for speeding in the 9400 block of Fuerte Drive when that motorist made a quick turn onto Grossmont Boulevard and collided head-on into a Ford F-150 pickup, police said in a statement.

The driver of the Saab – later identified as Davidson – ran away after the crash and attempted to elude arrest by breaking into a home in the 9300 block of Wister Drive, police said. The owners of the home pushed the intruder out their front door, and after a brief foot chase with officers, Davidson was arrested.

The 49-year-old driver of the Ford F-150 complained of pain to his head and was taken by paramedics to a hospital to be checked out, police said.

Davidson also was taken to the hospital for cuts to his lower legs and hands suffered during the break-in at the Wister Drive home. He was expected to be booked into San Diego County Jail on suspicion of hit-and-run, residential burglary, possession of heroin, resisting a police officer and parole violation.

It was also the first company in the US to firmly provide news coverage.Being one of the most popular sources for news in all of US history. has now gone online, and is one of the top news sites on the internet, available to subscribers world wide instantly <a href="http://ontopofthenews.net/">through a web browser</a>. While most of these organizations still report quality news, the internet has spawned a number of sites that comment more than report current news.

I heard that the landlord is using that property as a loss and does not care about renters. LooksRead More to me like it could be true. I also heard that a group from Mt Helix is trying to clean up Casa De Oro. Does anyone know for sure?
