A hit-and-run incident involving a white semi-truck with a refrigerated trailer occurred early this morning on State Route 99 North near Sierra Avenue in Earlimart, CA. The incident was reported at approximately 1:58 AM when the truck became immobilized due to a missing tire, rendering it undriveable.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where the semi-truck was found stuck between the guardrail and the dirt shoulder. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. A tow truck was requested shortly after the truck became immobilized, and by 3:12 AM, efforts were underway to safely extricate the vehicle.
The situation required careful maneuvering to remove the truck without causing further disruption. By 5:42 AM, the California Highway Patrol finalized the incident report, confirming it as a hit-and-run with no injuries involved. A private towing service was on-site, and by 6:16 AM, arrangements were made for a California Highway Patrol officer to assist with a rolling block to facilitate the tow.
The incident was resolved by the early morning hours, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow. Motorists are reminded to stay alert and drive safely, especially in areas where large vehicles may encounter difficulties.
