1 woman killed and 1 man is being sought in hit and run crash in Greenfield



We have more information regarding a multiple vehicle crash that occurred on Monday, September 16 at around 3:50 pm in Greenfield. According to the CHP, a 30-year-old King City man was driving a 2001 Chevy Silverado, northbound on Metz Road, south of Elm Avenue, at approximately 80 MPH, a 63-year-old Salinas Man was operating a 1996 Honda Civic, northbound on Metz Road, south of Elm Avenue, at  55 MPH, while another King City driver was traveling southbound on Metz Road, south of Elm Avenue, at an 55 MPH in a 2002 Honda Accord. The King City man who driving the Chevy Silverado allowed the front of his vehicle to collide with the rear of the 1996 Honda Civic which did not sustain damage in this collision. The Chevy Silverado then swerved from the northbound lane, into the southbound lane, and directly into the path of the Honda Accord. The Chevy Silverado and the Honda Accord sustained catastrophic damage as a result of this crash. The King City driver of the Chevy Silerado immediately fled the scene on foot, failing to check on the driver in the Honda Accord who had suffered life threatening injuries and was pinned in her vehicle. The driver of the Honda Civic remained on the scene. Emergency personnel were able to extricate the driver of the Honda Accord, but she later succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. It appears that alcohol was a contributing factor in this collision. The CHP is currently working to positively identify the driver of the Chevy Silverado and issue a warrant for his arrest.
