A hit-and-run incident occurred today on the southbound lanes of Interstate 605 at the Peck Road off-ramp in Whittier, California, at approximately 9:10 PM. The collision involved two vehicles: a white Ford Fiesta and a blue sedan, which fled the scene shortly after the incident. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded promptly, and the situation was resolved by 9:51 PM. The white Ford Fiesta sustained significant damage and was towed from the scene, as it was not drivable. The blue sedan, described as either a Toyota or a Nissan, was driven by a male driver who did not stop to provide assistance.
During the incident, traffic was minimally impacted, as the vehicles were located on the off-ramp and did not obstruct the main traffic flow on the highway. The California Highway Patrol was present to manage the situation and ensure safety for all motorists in the area.
Authorities are encouraging anyone with information regarding the blue sedan to come forward to assist in identifying the driver involved in this hit-and-run incident.
