Hollister Police are looking for two suspects who ran from a crash scene, where they left a loaded “assault rifle style weapon” on the backseat of their vehicle, police said.
The night of Dec. 22, Hollister Police officers attempted a traffic enforcement stop on Buena Vista Road, west of Calaveras School, says a post on the Hollister Police Department’s Facebook page. The driver of the vehicle—who was suspected of DUI—did not pull over and led officers on a brief pursuit at moderate speeds.
Due to weather conditions, officers terminated the pursuit. Police shortly learned the driver had crashed the vehicle a short distance away, in the area of Buena Vista and Locust, police said.
Officers who responded to the area of the crash found a loaded rifle on the back seat of the vehicle, police said. The driver and a passenger had fled on foot. Investigators are working on determining the suspects’ identity.

The suspect driver was seen exiting her black Dodge Charger and fleeing the scene after she collided with a parked car.
