Melvin Jones Recovers From Hit-and-Run Crash on Sandpiper Drive near Volcano Court
VALLEJO, CA (January 21, 2025) — Melvin Jones was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver on Sandpiper Drive near Volcano Court.
According to a report, the hit-and-run accident happened on December 20 in front of Jones’ home. Jones was ready to exit his car when he saw an oncoming vehicle, barreling straight toward him. Subsequently, he pulled himself back into the car before the driver slammed into his wheelchair, destroying it, and injuring his foot.
Police officers have not captured the hit-and-run driver; however, Orlando Graham, the founder of Vallejo’s Boys and Girls Empowerment Group who was heartbroken by this incident, organized a GoFundMe page to help the Boys & Girls Empowerment Group commissioner and leader.
The Boys & Girls Empowerment Group is a non-profit community center offering activities and resources for low-income families.
If anyone can help Vallejo Police search and identify the driver, call their police department.
