Regional Roundup

Driver, passengers flee after collision Downtown

Two cars collided at the corner of Church and Locust streets at around 6:15 on Monday evening when the driver of a Lincoln Continental reportedly ran a stop sign and crashed into the back of a white Dodge Ram pickup.

Tricia Hurtado, the driver of the truck, was driving south on Church Street, heading home from work when the accident occurred. She swerved to avoid the Continental that was heading west as it ran the stop, however, the car still slammed into the right back tire area of her pickup, she said.

The force of the crash knocked the pickup's tire inward and destroyed the front end of the Continental.

Witnesses reported that three males dressed in black grabbed items from the Lincoln — including a white pit bull puppy — and fled east on Locust Street. They saw two females flee west on Locust.

Police caught up with the male passengers, while a third person, believed to be

the driver, and the female subjects, were still being tracked down by police.

Lodi Police reported that they do not believe the Lincoln was stolen, and do not have any information on why the driver fled the scene. It was not known if any of theContinental's occupants were injured, but Hurtado was shook up and complained of back pain.

Meeting about school boundaries cancelled

The Galt Joint Union Elementary School District Advisory Committee meeting set for today has been canceled.

District Superintendent Karen Schauer said a new or revised plan for potential school boundary changes is not ready.

The committee is expected to go before the school board with recommendations as early as next month.

North San Joaquin meeting moved to Lockeford

Due to the renovation of the Lodi Public Library, today's meeting of the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District board has been moved to the Mokelumne fire station, 13157 E. Brandt Road, Lockeford. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m.
