The blue Hyundai was struck by another vehicle, which fled the scene immediately after the collision. Emergency services responded promptly, arriving within minutes to assess the situation. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident.
The blue Hyundai was positioned in a way that obstructed multiple lanes of traffic, causing significant disruption.
