Tesla Stolen, Rides Boardwalk, Injures Pedestrian | California News

A stolen Tesla careened down Pacific Beach’s boardwalk, slamming into a 25-year-old woman and leaving her with broken ribs and a fractured vertebra—just the latest in a string of dangerous vehicle chases near the water. The driver, Juan Antonio Gonzaba, fled but was caught by bystanders and now faces DUI and hit-and-run charges. This follows a similar truck chase earlier this month that ended on the sand without injury. Residents and advocates are demanding urgent safety reforms, calling for a citywide audit of all vehicle access points—and even proposing concrete barriers to keep cars off the boardwalk. City officials are already working with police to prevent future tragedies and ensure these public spaces remain safe for everyone.
