A hit-and-run driver and passenger caused chaos late Sunday night after crashing into three parked vehicles on a residential street in Anaheim and fleeing the scene on foot. The incident occurred shortly before 11 p.m. near Palm Avenue and Ball Road, an area surrounded by apartment complexes, according to the Anaheim Police Department.
The vehicle driven by the suspect slammed into the parked cars with such force that it moved them several feet and caused the suspect’s car to overturn. Lt. Richard LaRochelle of the Anaheim Police Department described the crash as a “reckless rampage,” leaving a trail of significant damage behind. Despite the severity of the incident, the driver and passenger quickly fled on foot before authorities arrived.
Unfortunately, police were unable to obtain descriptions of the fleeing individuals, and their identities remain unknown. Investigators are asking anyone with information about the crash to come forward by contacting the Anaheim Police Department at (714) 765-1900.
Potential Compensation for Victims
The victims in this hit-and-run incident could face significant financial burdens due to the extensive damage to their vehicles. Compensation in such cases may cover the cost of vehicle repairs or replacement, rental car expenses while vehicles are out of commission, and possibly emotional distress caused by the ordeal. In situations where insurance coverage is insufficient or the hit-and-run driver remains unidentified, victims may need to explore options like uninsured motorist coverage to recover their losses.
In addition to vehicle damage, the victims might also experience lost wages if the lack of transportation affects their ability to work, or additional out-of-pocket expenses related to alternative commuting methods. The financial and emotional toll can quickly add up, leaving victims in a challenging position.
