The mother of Eddie Foster, 32, said he was likely delivering packages Sunday morning when authorities say two teens hopped into his car and drove off
The 32-year-old Navy sailor thrown from the hood of his car while trying to stop thieves from taking it Sunday is brain-dead, his mother said, but kept alive so he can donate his organs.
About 5:20 a.m. Sunday, someone called 911 to report seeing a man on the hood of a tan sedan, yelling as it drove down Orange Avenue, Cornado police said on Facebook.That call was soon followed with a report the car crashed at the toll plaza of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, and that a driver and passenger took off running.
Medlen said the Navy called her with the news about her son. “I Just kept screaming ‘No!,’” she said.Foster was an aviation electronics mate, and had been with the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest at Naval Air Station North Island for about a year, Fleet spokesman Mike Furlano said.
