A hit-and-run incident occurred today at the intersection of Rainbow Ridge and Rancho Tehama Road in Rancho Tehama Reserve, CA. The collision, which took place around 5:15 PM, involved a single vehicle that struck a guard rail, resulting in significant damage. Witnesses reported that the vehicle was moved from the scene shortly after the incident.
Upon arrival, officers found the damaged vehicle, which had major front-end damage and broken glass nearby. Fortunately, the guard rail appeared to be intact, and there were no injuries reported in connection with this incident. The driver later contacted authorities, indicating that a trailer was on its way to retrieve the vehicle, which meant it would not be towed by emergency services.
