Around 3:45 p.m. the driver of the vehicle struck a pedestrian walking their dog in the area. After striking the pedestrian and dog, the Jeep fled the area. The driver of the Jeep then backed into a driveway in the area and struck an occupied box truck. The driver of the box truck got out of their vehicle after the crash and the Jeep driver then appeared to intentionally reverse rapidly into the box truck again.
