morning when an accident occurred at Buena Vista and Coal Mine Roads. 47 year old Keith Creason of Valley Springs

CHP Officer Melissa Scobee responded to the
scene of an accident only to find that the driver was no where to be found. According to her report the
accident occurred on Tuesday on Hwy. 88 west of Bamert Road. The unknown driver
was driving the 1994 Volkswagen Jetta east bound on Hwy. 88 at a high rate of
speed when it appears they made an abrupt turning movement towards the north
roadway edge. The Jetta then traveled off the north roadway edge in a
north easterly direction through a ditch and then a culvert. The vehicle
continued on colliding with a fence which caused the car to rollover and come
to rest on its wheels. Officer Scobee’s report states that after the collision
the unknown driver fled the scene and the vehicle was located at its place of
rest.
