A hit-and-run incident occurred today at the intersection of Road 166 and State Route 216 in Visalia, CA, involving one vehicle that may have been unreported stolen. The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at approximately 2:46 PM and discovered the vehicle had been tampered with.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in this incident. The vehicle was located between trees, and due to property owner restrictions, the responding unit was unable to tow it. Instead, a private tow service was required to handle the removal.
In an effort to gather more information, the California Highway Patrol contacted the Visalia Police Department to check the registered owner's address. However, attempts to reach the owner were unsuccessful, as there was no answer at the residence.
As of now, the vehicle remains at the scene awaiting private towing. The incident has not caused significant traffic disruptions, but motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area. Authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure the safe removal of the vehicle.
This incident highlights the importance of reporting suspicious vehicles and maintaining awareness of local traffic conditions.
