A hit-and-run incident occurred today on Interstate 215 South near Nuevo Road in Perris, CA, involving a black Ford Explorer and a semi-truck. The collision took place around 3:57 AM, with the driver of the Ford Explorer reportedly unharmed. However, the semi-truck involved did not stop and continued driving after the incident, leaving the scene without providing assistance.
Witnesses indicated that the driver of the Ford Explorer was unable to arrange for towing due to financial constraints, resulting in the vehicle being left at the scene. The driver was seen walking around the area, and despite requests from a construction worker to move the vehicle, the driver declined to do so.
Traffic was impacted as the Ford Explorer was blocking two lanes, creating potential hazards for other drivers. Authorities were notified, and a tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle. The situation was further complicated by reports of another potential accident in the vicinity, prompting additional caution for motorists traveling through the area.
No injuries were reported as a result of this incident, but the ongoing presence of the abandoned vehicle on the highway raised safety concerns. Motorists are advised to remain vigilant while navigating this section of Interstate 215 South as cleanup efforts continue.
