A hit-and-run incident occurred early this morning on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near Willow Road in Arroyo Grande, CA. At approximately 2:26 AM, a vehicle was run off the road by an unknown black pickup truck, which fled the scene heading south. The reporting party's vehicle sustained damage after colliding with a sign a couple of miles back from where they stopped.
Emergency services responded promptly, and a tow truck was requested to assist with the damaged vehicle. By 3:10 AM, the tow truck arrived to remove the vehicle from the roadside. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of this incident.
Later in the morning, around 8:30 AM, authorities located the damaged sign on the right-hand side of the southbound lanes of US Highway 101, just south of Los Berros. The green "Nipomo" sign was found to be intact, although the pole supporting it will need to be replaced due to the impact.
Motorists traveling in the area should remain cautious as they navigate the southbound lanes of US Highway 101, especially near Willow Road, as the aftermath of this incident could still affect traffic flow. The California Highway Patrol encourages anyone with information about the fleeing vehicle to come forward.
