LUCERNE, Calif. – An early morning crash on Sunday did damage to the Lucerne Hotel property.

The California Highway Patrol said a hit and run crash near the building on Country Club Drive was reported shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday.

The vehicle hit a 30-foot stretch of fence along Country Club Drive between 13th and 14th avenues.

The crash sheared four 4-inch by 4-inch fence posts at ground level and completely removed the bottom rails from the fence.

A significant amount of debris from the vehicle remained at the crash site Sunday afternoon, along with a large, full, opened Bud Light can.

The fence recently had been built by the county as part of the renovations to prepare the property for a new Marymount College campus.

Additional information the crash was not immediately available.

A CHP notice left at the scene indicated that the agency was seeking information on the responsible person. The CHP can be reached at 707-279-0103.
