Here’s a map. The call went out as “heavy rescue” but officers have said on the scanner that “nobody’s trapped.” Going out to check the scene but in the meantime, a good idea to avoid that area. Till back at HQ, we’ll update via Twitter with any news from the scene – check here. 12:36 AM UPDATE: Just back, did not appear to be major after all – one damaged car is on the north side of Genesee by the apartments close to the Avalon top of the hill, but the street’s not blocked and the fire units are all gone. Poilce reportedly are looking for a hit-run driver – whether from this car or another one, we don’t know yet. 2:23 AM UPDATE: Southwest Precinct Lt. Ron Smith confirms the driver of the crashed car “ran away from the scene” and is not in custody yet – he adds that the car had a “punched-out ignition” which drew added curiosity, though the car’s status has not been completely verified so far.
