A hit-and-run incident occurred early this morning at the intersection of State Route 198 and Peach Tree Road in King City, CA. The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at approximately 3:36 AM, where a green Dodge Dakota was found abandoned. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.
Emergency services quickly assessed the situation and requested a tow truck to remove the abandoned vehicle. By 4:40 AM, the authorities confirmed that the vehicle had been impounded under the California Vehicle Code due to its involvement in a hit-and-run incident. The Dodge Dakota was registered in California and its details were documented for further processing.
The incident did not cause significant traffic disruptions, and the roadway remained open to motorists. However, the presence of emergency services and the tow truck may have caused brief delays for drivers in the immediate area.
As the situation unfolded, the California Highway Patrol ensured that all necessary protocols were followed, including notifying local law enforcement about the abandoned vehicle. The tow truck arrived shortly after the initial report, and the vehicle was successfully impounded without further complications.
Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or abandoned vehicles to authorities. The California Highway Patrol continues to encourage safe driving practices to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
