“The driver jumped out of the car and grabbed a gun out and jumped into another car and left (the scene),” said Sgt. Dan Peacock of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “It would be a hit and run.”

Only one vehicle was involved, which the suspect left sitting on the northbound side of Bouquet Canyon Road, near Newhall Ranch Road, around 1:25 p.m.

“Based on the call, I believe he was a passenger in the car (that drove away),” Peacock said, explaining there was no report of a carjacking in the call.

The cause of the crash is unknown, according to Peacock, and deputies are still investigating the incident.
