The driver of a Honda Civic who rear-ended a big-rig and hit a Chevrolet Malibu in an adjacent lane of Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton fled the accident after extracting himself from his overturned vehicle, according to a news report.
Fullerton police say that the man driving the Honda was found at a local business and transported to a local hospital for treatment of a head wound. Police say that when they arrived on the scene, they discovered the overturned Honda and blood on the ground. A witness told police that the driver fled on foot to the nearby Kimberly-Clark Fullerton Mill property, where police and paramedics found him.
Authorities said it appeared that the Honda driver rear-ended a big-rig in the No. 2 lane of Orangethorpe Avenue, which caused his car to flip and hit a Chevy Malibu in the next lane.
