A hit-and-run incident involving a single vehicle occurred early this morning on northbound State Route 99 near County Line Road in Delano, CA. At approximately 3:58 AM, a red Cadillac spun out and came to rest in the slow lane. The driver of the Cadillac left the scene shortly after the vehicle lost control.

Witnesses reported that a good Samaritan in a large truck blocked the slow lane to prevent further accidents while waiting for assistance. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in connection with the incident. By 4:15 AM, the good Samaritan and other bystanders successfully pushed the Cadillac off the roadway.

A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the vehicle, which was officially classified as a hit-and-run with no injuries by the California Highway Patrol around 4:42 AM. The presence of the Cadillac in the slow lane briefly impacted traffic flow, but the prompt actions of witnesses and emergency responders helped to minimize disruptions.

The vehicle was successfully towed away, and the roadway was cleared for normal traffic conditions. Motorists are reminded to stay vigilant and report any incidents to authorities to maintain safety on the roads.
