Two of the vehicles were described by 911 callers as white SUV’s. No information or confirmation about the other possibly involved vehicle was readily available, but area resident Jennifer Jordan later told SCNS the vehicle was black and had been parked at Napa when it was struck.
Although Fire and rescue personnel were initially summoned to the scene, their response was later cancelled after CHP officers determined nobody was injured in the crash.
CHP is investigating the cause of the collision and their accident investigation was active and ongoing at the scene as of this report.
