Watsonville Police investigate a four-vehicle crash on South Green Valley Road Tuesday morning. Michelle Pulido, spokeswoman for Watsonville Police, said an unlicensed teen male was traveling southbound on Green Valley in a Ford F350 pickup around 10:30am when he plowed into a Ford F150 pickup at the corner of Kralj Drive. The F150 then smashed into a Toyota Camry, pushing it into another sedan. The teen suspect then fled on foot toward Rolling Hills Middle School. With the use of a drone, WPD officers tracked down the teen nearby and took him into custody. He was charged with felony hit and run and other charges. Two people in the other vehicles suffered minor injuries.
