OXNARD, CA – Injuries and Damage Reported in Hit-and-Run Crash on Highway 101 at Del Norte Boulevard

Three-Vehicles Involved in Morning Hit-and-Run Crash on Highway 101 in Oxnard

 
OXNARD, CA (January 7, 2019) – Injuries and damage were reported following a hit-and-run crash Monday morning in Highway 101 in Oxnard.
 
The crash happened around 5:15 a.m. on the southbound direction of the highway, just North of Del Norte Boulevard. A jackknifed big rig, a white Toyota Tundra, and a Honda were involved.
 
While the cause of the crash has not yet been determined, one vehicle was cut in half as a result of the accident. Injuries were sustained in the accident but the extent and number of injured patients were not immediately known.
 
The impact also caused major rear damage on the Honda and moderate front damage on the Toyota.
 
An ambulance unit was dispatched to the scene to transport those who were injured to a hospital. Towing services were also requested to remove the damaged vehicle from the crash site.
 
One of the involved drivers reportedly fled the scene, but no further details were provided.
 
Investigation of this incident is still ongoing.
 
To prevent jackknifing from happening, start with proper maintenance on your truck. Uneven brakes, worn out tired and faulty suspension components only add to the risk of you losing control of the truck. Always obey the speed limit and be aware of your surroundings. And if you get involved in a collision, do not flee the scene. It is required by state law to stop your vehicle and call the police, identify and talk to witnesses, and check on other drivers and passengers.
