LOS ANGELES, CA – A commercial truck cut in front of another vehicle, causing the driver to swerve and hit a silver Toyota minivan. The big rig driver did not appear to recognize that the truck caused an accident and drove away from the scene. The incident occurred at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, near Buena Vista Street.
The driver who swerved attempted to follow the truck and inform the driver to stop the vehicle, but the driver was unaware or chose not to stop. According to the California Highway Patrol, an officer went to the scene of the accident to assist the minivan’s driver while another officer followed the commercial truck. The police believe they have located the truck at Sunshine Landfill, and they will attempt to pull the driver over.
At this time, police officers do not believe that either driver sustained injuries during the accident.
