O’Hanlon said investigators don’t believe the driver had been drinking or that he acted deliberately.
“We are treating this as an unfortunate accident,” O’Hanlon said. “We’re checking into the cabdriver’s background. We’re in the process of reviewing surveillance tapes and looking for any others.”
The cabdriver’s name was not made public. “We do not release the names of drivers involved in accidents,” O’Hanlon said.
Anywhere from 10 to 100 people became involved in a melee after the crash, with some reports that witnesses pounded on the cab and pulled the driver out when he tried to back the car away from the building.

Mohammad?
“We do not release the names....”
Since when? Nothing to see here, move along...
What a sick joke this country has become.
Now about 32 hours into this story and still no information any where about the driver, no photos, no police report. No follow up on the condition of all the injured. The San Diego news doesn’t even mention it today. AP has no further follow up. Unusual with this large an incident that there is no follow up. Recall the wall to wall weeks of coverage over the Gilliford injury. In our town if you hit someones fence and break it, your name is in the local paper under police reports, ticket or no ticket. I found a San Diego attorney website already advertising how to sue the cab company and driver. The attorneys are talking; the MEDIA is not. Any San Diego Freepers have any information?
yeah, trying to drive in downtown San Diego on a weekend night can cause anyone to careen out of control. I almost accidently ran over a cop once.
The reason for the silence in all likelyhood is due to a racial element being involved.

BINGO ......there would be a racist tag to any cab driver in San diego.. I have yet to ride in one that speaks English as their first language..
The news report I read said the driver was beaten by some of those in the crowd.
Same thing I read.
