Calaveras County crash leaves car destroyed, driver still able to run away
The crash happened just before 7:30 a.m. off of Lake Camanche Parkway in Burson.
Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but photos from the scene taken by Calaveras Consolidated Fire revealed how the car was nearly obliterated.
First responders say the driver was nowhere in sight.
"We can't figure out how anyone could have walked away from this accident," Calaveras Consolidated Fire wrote on Facebook.
California Highway Patrol also responded to the scene. Officers noted that there have been no walk-ins at any local hospitals believed to be linked to the crash so far, so the driver is still being sought.
The crash remains under investigation, CHP noted.

New details surface on Dodgers' $1 million pledge during ICE raids in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Dodgers offered no timeline on June 20 when they announced they had committed $1 million 'toward direct financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by recent events in the region.'' Almost eight weeks later, with protests over the Dodgers' response to the immigration raids having ended, a non-profit group working with the team provided new details. The $1 million will be distributed to 1,000 households, each which will receive $1,000 by the end of the month, according to California Community Foundation (CCF), a philanthropic organization in Los Angeles. 'The Dodgers' generous gift of $1 million to the CCF LA Neighbors Fund will provide relief to 1,000 Los Angeles households struggling to meet their basic needs due to the immigration raids,'' CCF said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports. 'Each will receive $1,000 in direct cash relief, delivered before the end of August 2025, as cash cards through trusted community partners in partnership with the City of Los Angeles." The Dodgers did not immediately respond to requests for comment USA TODAY Sports submitted by text message. Since June 6, ICE and CBP have made more than 4,200 arrests in the Los Angeles area, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin. 'We will continue to enforce the law and remove the worst of the worst,'' McLaughlin told USA TODAY Sports by email. The Dodgers, who have enjoyed longtime support from the Latino community, were criticized for failing to address the immigration crackdown for two weeks prior to announcing the commitment of $1 million. The day before the announcement, the team said that it had denied ICE agents access to parking lots at Dodger Stadium. Until that point, the Dodgers had issued no statement related to the raids that triggered sometimes-violent protests downtown. "What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected,'' Dodgers president Stan Kasten said in a statement at the time of the announcement. "We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles.' Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, in a June 21 news release about the team's commitment, thanked the Dodgers 'for leading with this action to support the immigrant community of Los Angeles.'' That same day, however, protesters returned to Dodger Stadium and at least two held signs that read, 'Dodgers want you to shut up for $1 million.'' Others criticized the Dodgers for not giving more. More than 200 donors, including the Dodgers, have helped raise $2.6 million for the CCF LA Neighbors Fund, 'which will provide additional resources to the City of LA's assistance program as well as nonprofit organizations providing direct aid to people across the County who are in need as a result of the ongoing raids,'' according to the statement CCF provided USA TODAY Sports.
