Acton, CA (August 11, 2025) – Multiple injuries were reported Monday afternoon following a hit-and-run collision on SR-14 Northbound near Santiago Rd. The crash, which occurred around 2:59 p.m., involved at least two to three vehicles, including a white Ford Explorer that overturned and came to rest in the center divider. According to witness reports, a red Chevrolet Avalanche was weaving at high speeds prior to the collision and is believed to have caused the crash before fleeing the scene.
Emergency crews from the Los Angeles County Fire Department arrived quickly, tending to injured occupants and clearing the roadway. One black pickup truck was also damaged in the incident, and another vehicle was found blocking the #1 lane. Tow services worked to remove the wrecked vehicles while authorities coordinated efforts to locate the suspect vehicle.
Traffic on SR-14 was heavily impacted during the response, but all lanes were eventually reopened. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the collision and is seeking information from the public to help identify the fleeing driver. Our thoughts are with all those injured in this dangerous incident, and we wish them a full recovery.
Hit-and-Run Collisions in California
High-speed hit-and-run crashes like Monday’s incident on SR-14 pose a severe risk to everyone on the road. When drivers flee the scene, they not only violate the law but also deny injured victims the immediate help they need. The stretch of SR-14 near Santiago Rd sees consistent commuter and truck traffic, which can magnify the dangers of reckless driving and sudden lane changes.
Multi-vehicle collisions at freeway speeds often result in overturned vehicles, severe injuries, and major traffic disruptions. In many cases, hit-and-run drivers are later found through witness statements, dashcam footage, and roadside surveillance systems. Law enforcement urges all motorists to remain at the scene of an accident, render aid when possible, and cooperate fully with investigations.
