Police stated that “the driver and passenger of the SUV were intoxicated female juveniles who fled the scene of the collision.
On Saturday at 6:54 a.m., Ukiah Police Department officers responded to a hit-and-run collision in the 100 block of Wiyat Drive, involving an SUV colliding with a parked vehicle, causing the parked vehicle to crash into the garage of a residence.
In a press release, the UPD stated that “the driver and passenger of the SUV were intoxicated female juveniles who fled the scene of the collision. Residents in the neighborhood followed the juveniles and updated Ukiah PD dispatch of their last known locations and direction of travel, allowing officers to set up a perimeter. Residents followed the juveniles until they began hiding in bushes and jumping over other residents’ fences.
UPD officers began searching the area, and learned of the girls’ location “after the homeowner was surprised by their presence after walking in her garage. The juveniles were initially detained and the investigation continued. With the cooperation of the involved officers and the public’s cooperation this case was quickly closed,” the UPD stated.
“Surveillance video, witness statements, and other evidence was gathered and submitted to juvenile probation. The driver was turned over to Probation at Juvenile Hall and the passenger was turned over to a parent.”
