A hit-and-run incident involving a semi-truck occurred today on Interstate 680 South near the Vargas Road off-ramp in Fremont, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 7:54 PM when the driver of the semi-truck stated that a Ford vehicle had crowded him during a lane closure, leading to a hit-and-run situation. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded to the scene, and the semi-truck, identified as a Peterbilt with a single trailer, sustained only minor damage, primarily to its lug nut covers. The driver was able to continue driving and later stopped at his terminal in Fremont for the night.
The semi-truck driver expressed discomfort while trying to pass the suspicious vehicle, which was slowing down in front of him. Initially, the driver did not realize that contact had been made between the vehicles.
