A hit-and-run traffic collision occurred early this morning on Interstate 805 North near Imperial South in San Diego, CA, involving two vehicles. The incident took place around 2:30 AM, resulting in one vehicle being abandoned by its driver, who fled the scene on foot. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the collision.
According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the collision involved a white Chevrolet that was found disabled and partially off the roadway. A dark sedan was also reported to be facing west on the right-hand side of the road, with debris scattered across the area. Witnesses reported seeing a white pickup truck with collision damage off 47th Street shortly after the incident, leading authorities to suspect a connection to the earlier collision.
By 3:22 AM, it was confirmed that the driver of the white Chevrolet had abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene. The incident was officially classified as a "Hit and Run No Injuries" at 3:46 AM, indicating that all parties involved escaped without injuries. Emergency services responded promptly, with multiple units from the CHP arriving at the scene by approximately 2:39 AM. The last unit cleared the area around 3:49 AM.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, a report was made earlier today at around 10:15 AM regarding a stolen Chevrolet pickup truck that had been parked in front of a residence. The owner indicated that the vehicle could be started with any Chevrolet key, suggesting a potential link to the abandoned vehicle from the hit-and-run incident.
The CHP continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding this hit-and-run collision. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding the incident or the abandoned vehicle to come forward. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the consequences of fleeing the scene of an accident.
