An investigation into a Santa Clarita hit-and-run began Saturday after a driver allegedly struck a vaccination worker at a coronavirus vaccination site in Newhall, officials said.
Around 4:45 p.m. Saturday, deputies received reports of an assault with a deadly weapon at a COVID-19 vaccination center on the 22900 block of Market Street in Old Town Newhall, according to Sergeant Barkon with the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.
The deadly weapon in question, a vehicle, was allegedly used to drive into the vaccination site, hitting signs and knocking over cones, according to Barkon.
“One of the workers was picking up a sign when they were struck by the vehicle,” Barkon said.
The victim was later treated on scene for minor arm injuries, according to Melanie Flores, a dispatch supervisor for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The altercation remained “non-verbal” throughout the crash and as the driver fled the scene, so the intent of the crash remains unknown, according to Barkon.
The suspect remains outstanding as of 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
