The Sheriff's Department has no leads on the suspect in a hit-and-run collision in Menifee June 13, authorities said.

The incident happened at 8:37 p.m. in the 31600 block of Haun Road, according to a Sheriff's Department report. The driver of a vehicle that rear-ended a car driven by a 17-year-old female fled the scene before deputies arrived. No other information has been released by police and anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Department at 951-210-1000.

The accident victim has been identified by her mother as Hannah Crisostomo. Rebecca Mills Avila  said today that her daughter is recovering well, although she received several staples for a wound on the top of her head.

"Last night someone ran into the back of my daughter's car going upwards of 80 mph," Avila wrote on Facebook the day after the accident. "They fled the scene and left my daughter for dead! This had to be a pick-up truck, possibly lifted."

Avila told Menifee 24/7 that a bumper and other items were left in the road by the fleeing vehicle. She said a check of the serial numbers on the bumper indicated the vehicle was a 1999-2002 Chevrolet. Deputies did not take any of the items as evidence, she said.

This incident was the latest in a series of traffic collisions in Menifee and Murietta this month. Four people died in these accidents and DUI is suspected in at least three of them.
