A hit-and-run incident occurred today on westbound Interstate 580 near the Grant Line Road off-ramp in Tracy, CA, involving two vehicles: a green truck and a red big rig. The collision took place around 7:29 AM when the green truck, reportedly swerving prior to the impact, rear-ended the big rig. After the crash, the driver of the green truck did not stop and continued driving away from the scene.

Emergency services were alerted, and the California Highway Patrol was dispatched to the location. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, and the victim vehicle, a gray Toyota Avalon, was drivable after the incident. The Avalon had pulled over to the side of the road but did not require a tow truck.

Both vehicles involved were still moving following the initial impact. The green truck was identified as a hunter green Chevrolet truck, which had also been involved in a prior incident where it hit another vehicle shortly before the collision with the big rig.

Motorists in the area are advised to remain cautious as the situation develops. The California Highway Patrol is working to gather more information regarding the fleeing vehicle. This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the need for accountability on the road.
