A single vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run incident early this morning in Geyserville, CA, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle but no reported injuries. The crash occurred at approximately 5:25 AM when the vehicle struck a tree and subsequently ended up in the bushes along Geyserville Avenue.
Emergency services were promptly notified, and multiple units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived on the scene by 6:27 AM. Upon arrival, officers assessed the situation and determined that the vehicle was wrecked and required towing. The vehicle was cleared from the scene without any injuries reported to the occupants or bystanders.
The incident began when the vehicle lost control and crashed into a tree, causing it to become lodged in the bushes. A tow truck was requested shortly after the accident, and by 6:33 AM, the vehicle was prepared for removal. The CHP reported that there was damage to approximately 10 feet of guardrail as a result of the collision.
As the investigation unfolded, it was confirmed that the incident was classified as a hit-and-run, with the driver fleeing the scene. The vehicle was later determined to be a black sedan, which was towed away for further examination. The CHP is currently working with local authorities to gather more information regarding the driver involved in the incident.
Traffic in the area was minimally impacted, as the vehicle was located just off the roadway. A traffic cone was placed at the scene for safety, and the road was cleared shortly after the vehicle was towed.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the responsibilities of drivers involved in accidents. The CHP encourages anyone with information about the incident to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
