Update at 4:55 p.m.: San Andreas CHP spokesperson Jeremy Cooper responded to our email asking for additional details on the devastating crash this morning on Camanche Parkway South near Burson Road, near the Camanche Reservoir. As we could not make out the type of vehicle due to the damage, Cooper relayed that it was a 1997 Honda Civic sedan. He stated that the collision occurred around 7:22 a.m., and when officers arrived, they discovered the vehicle unoccupied, as the driver had fled the scene before emergency personnel arrived. Cooper continued, “A search of the area yielded negative results for the driver, as well as no walk-ins at the local hospital.”
The investigation is ongoing as detectives try to identify the driver and find out how they managed to make it out of this wreck alive.
