Woman seriously injured, airlifted after Burney incident, CHP investigating

BURNEY, Calif. — Officials today are continuing to investigate an incident that seriously injured a Burney woman last night, Saturday, April 3.

The incident, which was initially reported as a vehicle versus pedestrian hit and run, allegedly happened in the area of Mountain View Road and Hudson Street, just north of Main Street. However, a CHP official today told SCNS, “There are many questions that still need to be answered.”

Reports of the alleged hit and run quickly spread across social media with many Burney locals talking about another recent hit and run that killed a 63-year-old woman at nearly the same location last month. In that case, the driver of a crossover-style vehicle ran over and dragged the victim down Main Street/Hwy. 299E, before leaving her to die in the roadway. As of this report, that investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

CHP officers, Burney Sheriff’s Station deputies, and other emergency personnel were dispatched to the area around 8:30 p.m. after a person called 911 to report that a woman had been driven to a neighbor’s house after possibly being run down by a driver who fled the scene.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was seriously injured and airlifted to Mercy Medical Center in Redding. She suffered a fractured pelvis, broken femur, and other traumatic injuries, according to CHP Officer Chris Ogden.

During their subsequent investigation, officials were told the victim was possibly hit by an unspecified vehicle in the area of Mountain View Road and Hudson Street. She was then driven by her boyfriend to an unrelated Burney residence, where a neighbor called 911 to report the woman’s injuries.

According to Ogden, the boyfriend who drove the injured woman from the scene of the alleged hit and run had left prior to officers and deputies arriving and as of this report had not been interviewed regarding the incident.

Although officers later interviewed the victim at Mercy, “she was heavily sedated due to the extent of her injuries and was not able to provide a cohesive explanation of what happened,” Ogden explained; adding, “It’s all convoluted at this point.”

In the coming days, officers plan on seeking surveillance video from a real estate office and other businesses located where the hit and run reportedly occurred, hoping to shed light on if the victim was actually struck by a hit and run driver or what may have led to her serious injuries.

“We would definitely like to speak with the boyfriend and have a lot of further investigation to do regarding this case,” Ogden told SCNS this afternoon; adding that CHP’s investigation is active and ongoing.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact CHP Officer Chris Ogden at (530) 225-0500. Callers can remain anonymous.
