Press release from the Eureka Police Department:

On December 9, 2025, an officer with the Eureka Police Department responded to a reported hit-and- run at W. Wabash Avenue and Spring Street. One of the involved drivers fled on foot before officers arrived.

The collision occurred at a signal-controlled intersection in a residential area. Three vehicles were involved: one sustained moderate front-side damage, one motorcycle sustained major damage, and a third vehicle had minor front-end damage. No unusual roadway conditions were noted.

Evidence was documented through photographs and Body-Worn Camera footage. A witness reported seeing one vehicle strike another and leave without stopping, and provided a description and partial license plate.

The fleeing driver has not been identified at this time. The primary impact area was located within the intersection. The collision was caused by a failure to yield during a left turn, a violation of California Vehicle Code 21801(a).

The case remains under investigation. If have any information regarding this incident, please contact Eureka Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at 707-441-4300.
