Orland – Additional information has been acquired regarding what was originally reported as a hit and run accident on County Road 20 just west of County Road M.

According to the California Highway Patrol, at about 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 4, Ulessis Galvan, 20, of Orland, was driving a 1998 Honda Civic east on Road 20, west of Road M.

For an unknown reason, he allowed the car to travel off the roadway onto the south shoulder of Road 20.

The Honda continued to travel in a southerly direction and collided with what was apparently a telephone pole, not a power pole, knocking it and telephone lines across County Road 20.

Immediately after the accident, Galvan fled the scene on foot but was later located by the CHP.

He was not arrested for hit and run.

He did not report any injuries.
