COVINA - As many as four people were injured in a hit-and-run crash that left debris strewn across the road Wednesday.

Police believe domestic violence somehow led to the five-vehicle collision on Hollenbeck Avenue south of Cypress Street. The crash occurred around 5:50 a.m. March 18.

Four vehicles that remained at the scene were all heavily damaged. One vehicle was overturned.

A fifth vehicle reportedly fled the scene and may have rammed into the other crashed vehicles to escape and police are searching for it.

A description of the fifth vehicle and its occupant was not immediately available.

COVINA - Investigators are determining the cause of death for a man found dead in a vehicle Sunday.

The victim, who has yet to be publicly identified, was in the driver’s seat in a shopping center parking lot in the 400 block of South Citrus Avenue March 1.

First responders were called around 12:47 p.m.

The man, said to be in his 60s, was there long enough for some decomposition to occur, according to Lt. David Rodriguez of the Covina Police Department.

An odor wafting from the vehicle likely drew attention to it.

There were no obvious signs of foul play.
