A hit-and-run incident occurred today involving two vehicles: a white Nissan NV200 cargo van and a red-cab semi-truck hauling a flatbed trailer. The collision took place at the intersection of Mark West Springs Road and Cresta Road in Santa Rosa, CA, shortly after 1:00 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and both drivers declined medical assistance at the scene.
According to witnesses, the semi-truck was traveling eastbound when it lost control and began fishtailing, ultimately colliding with the Nissan. Following the impact, the semi-truck driver did not remain at the scene, resulting in a hit-and-run situation.
Emergency services responded promptly, arriving shortly after the incident was reported. The Nissan NV200 sustained significant damage and was towed from the scene. While the status of the semi-truck is not specified, it is likely that a tow truck was also called for that vehicle.
Despite the collision, there were no reported traffic delays or lane closures, allowing for the continued flow of traffic in the area. The swift response from emergency services ensured that the situation was managed efficiently, minimizing disruption to motorists.
This incident highlights the importance of road safety, particularly concerning large vehicles. Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and report any reckless driving behavior to local authorities.
The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the incident and encourages anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has additional information to come forward. The CHP is committed to ensuring the safety of all road users and will take appropriate action against any drivers who fail to comply with traffic laws.
