Rollaway Vehicle

Published on December 11, 2024

On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at approximately 12:30 p.m., the South Pasadena Police Department responded to a report of a vehicle crashing into a home in the 200 block of Camino Del Sol.

Upon arrival, officers and firefighters assisted the driver and sole passenger of the vehicle, the occupants of the home. They also assessed the home for structural damage. The vehicle rolled backward down the street, onto the curb, through hedges, down an embankment, and through a tree before coming to rest against the house.

The impact destroyed the landscaping but caused only minor damage to the home's stucco exterior. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the occupants of the home were unaware of the incident until contacted by firefighters.

Traffic was temporarily diverted while a local tow truck company recovered the vehicle from the embankment. The roadway was fully reopened by 3:00 p.m.

Anyone with additional information about this incident is urged to call the South Pasadena Police Department at (626) 403-7270. If you would like to provide an anonymous tip, you can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).
