A hit-and-run incident involving three vehicles occurred today at the Interstate 405 North near the Fairview Road on-ramp in Costa Mesa, CA. The collision was reported at approximately 3:02 PM and involved a white Chrysler sedan, a blue Scio, and a gray vehicle that fled the scene.

Emergency services responded promptly, and it was determined that the blue Scio sustained significant damage and was likely not drivable, requiring a tow. The reporting party confirmed that their vehicle, the white Chrysler, remained drivable. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries associated with this collision.

The gray vehicle left the scene shortly after the incident, leading to the classification of the event as a hit-and-run. Authorities worked to manage the situation effectively, ensuring that traffic flow was restored as quickly as possible.

A tow truck was requested to assist with the removal of the blue Scio, which was blocking the left lane. By 3:39 PM, the tow truck was en route to the scene to clear the damaged vehicle. By 3:45 PM, all necessary measures had been taken to address the situation, and traffic was expected to return to normal conditions shortly.
