A fiery hit-and-run accident injured 1 person on Highway 4 (Clayton, CA)

On late Sunday night, a driver was injured while the two children remained unharmed after a fiery hit-and-run accident in the westbound lanes of Highway 4.

Police are looking for the hit-and-run suspect who caused the fiery crash. According to the initial information, officers actively responded to the westbound lanes of Highway 4 near Sellers Ave. at around 9:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a crash.

On arrival, responding officers found a vehicle fully engulfed in flames and two others damaged. One of the vehicles was occupied by a father and his two children. He was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition while the children did not receive any injuries.

The initial investigation of the accident showed that the family’s vehicle was struck from behind, probably by an impaired driver. A confrontation followed as one of the vehicles became fully engulfed in flames.

One of the parties that caused the crash ran away from the scene on foot. Witnesses said that he was possibly impaired when the incident happened. A search was underway for the driver. No other details are immediately available.

The crash remains under active review.
