A hit-and-run incident occurred today on US Highway 101 South at Dunne Avenue in Morgan Hill, CA, when a white Infiniti sedan collided with an exit sign. The collision happened around 3:00 PM, resulting in the exit sign falling down. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.

Witnesses observed the vehicle fishtailing and losing control prior to the crash. After the collision, the driver of the Infiniti left the scene, abandoning the damaged sign. Emergency services responded promptly, and the fallen sign was reported to the Department of Transportation for necessary repairs.

Traffic flow in the area remained largely unaffected, as the incident took place on the off-ramp, allowing vehicles on the main highway to continue moving. However, the fallen sign could create a potential hazard for drivers using the exit. Authorities are working to ensure the area is safe and that the sign is replaced quickly.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible driving and the implications of leaving the scene of an accident. Motorists are encouraged to stay alert and report any accidents or suspicious behavior they witness. As the situation develops, the California Highway Patrol urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
