The second accident was caused when a driver stopped in the eastbound lane due to the blockage caused by the first accident and was rear ended by another vehicle which in turn fled the scene. The road was closed briefly and then opened to one way traffic control while law enforcement and emergency personnel cleared the scene. The driver of the green Ford was arrested at the scene for suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence and according to the report he is an unlicensed driver so his identification is tentative and therefore not positive. The driver of the car that was rear ended was transported to Sutter Amador Hospital with complaints of back pain. The driver of the car that fled the scene, according to California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Craig Harmon, could be facing the most serious legal charges involved in this accident, felony hit and run. The CHP does have identification of the car through a reported plate number.
