A hit-and-run incident occurred today in Fresno, CA, involving one confirmed vehicle during a police pursuit. The incident took place around 10:40 AM at 6713 E Amherst Ave when the reporting party's vehicle was side-swiped by an unknown second vehicle. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries associated with the incident.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene and initiated an investigation. The damaged vehicle was located in a garage, where it was confirmed to have paint transfer from the other vehicle involved in the side-swipe.
The police pursuit that led to the incident occurred earlier, around 1:00 AM, near the intersection of Clinton and Brawley. Authorities from the Selma Police Department indicated that they did not have any pursuits during that night, adding complexity to the situation.
As the investigation progressed, it was noted that the vehicle involved in the pursuit was linked to a home invasion case and had been towed from a different location. The scene was cleared later in the day, allowing normal traffic flow to resume in the area.
This incident underscores the challenges law enforcement faces during high-speed pursuits and the potential risks to innocent drivers. Authorities encourage anyone with information about the incident to come forward to assist in the investigation.
