MORENO VALLEY, Riverside County, Calif., Oct. 23, 2026 — A hit-and-run crash left at least one person hurt Thursday afternoon, October 22, on eastbound Highway 60 east of Perris Boulevard in Moreno Valley, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The California Highway Patrol said the incident began as a report of a disabled vehicle with someone inside, stopped on the right shoulder of eastbound Highway 60. A gray sedan was identified at the scene, and the vehicle was reportedly still drivable, per early radio traffic logged by dispatchers.
Within about 10 minutes, the CHP's Freeway Service Patrol reclassified the call as a hit-and-run crash with injuries, upgrading it from the original disabled-vehicle report. The change suggests another vehicle may have struck the car or a person near it before leaving the scene, though that sequence has not been confirmed.
The extent of the injuries has not been released. It's unclear whether the injured party was inside the vehicle, outside it, or assisting at the time of the crash. The description of the fleeing vehicle was not available in initial reports.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating and has not located the vehicle or driver responsible, as of the latest update. Anyone with information has not yet been publicly requested to come forward, though that is common in hit-and-run cases as the investigation continues.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Crash in Moreno Valley, CA
If you're involved in or witness a hit-and-run, try to move to a safe location if possible and call 911 right away. Write down or photograph any details you can recall about the other vehicle, including its direction of travel, before memory fades.
Even if you feel fine, a medical check is worth doing, since some injuries, especially to the neck, back, or head, don't show symptoms right away. Ask responding officers for a copy of the incident or case number for your records.
Follow up with the California Highway Patrol or local police if you remember new details later. Hit-and-run cases are sometimes solved through surveillance footage, tips, or vehicle parts left at the scene, so information that seems minor can still help.
