Redding, CA – Two Injured Following Hit-and-Run Crash on Old Oregon Trail and Old Alturas Road

Redding, CA (July 30, 2018) – Two women were reportedly injured after a collision involving a suspected DUI driver on Old Oregon Trail and Old Alturas Road Monday morning, according to a report filed by the California Highway Patrol. The injurious accident took place when a driver was apparently traveling on the wrong side of the road at approximately 10:04 a.m.

The suspected DUI driver caused the accident as their white Chevy Cavalier was heading in the opposite lane, subsequently crashing into another vehicle. Immediately after the accident, the driver of the Cavalier reportedly got out of the vehicle and fled the scene on foot. The suspect did not stop to assist the two women in the other vehicle who ended up injured during the collision.

Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after the collision in order to attend to the victims. Both women who have not been identified at this time reportedly suffered moderate injuries due to the crash. The victims were immediately transported to a local hospital to undergo treatment for their injuries. The California Highway Patrol stated that Lake City Towing had eventually arrived on the scene to tow away both of the vehicles that were involved.

There is no more information available as the CHP have not stated whether or not the suspect has been located at this time. The current conditions of the victims are currently unknown, and authorities are conducting an investigation into the accident.

We offer our sincerest sympathies to the two injured parties as we maintain hope for their full recoveries.

While the suspect has not been confirmed as to have been intoxicated at the time of the accident, they also fled the scene of a crash that resulted in bodily injuries. Regardless of why the suspect left the scene and their condition at the time of the accident, they will certainly be facing felony charges once they are located. This will also provide solid grounds for personal injury lawsuits to follow.
