The California Highway Patrol on Wednesday afternoon was investigating a hit-and-run crash at 2621 El Camino Ave. in a parking lot at a shopping directly north across the street from the robbed jewelry store.

No injuries were reported in that crash.
At 4:10 p.m. Wednesday, a fire engine from the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District was involved in an apparent hit-and-run vehicle crash a few blocks south or the jewelry store along Fulton Avenue near Hernando Road.
Capt. Mark Nunez, a Metro Fire spokesperson, said the crew in the fire engine were not injured in the crash and waited at the scene for CHP officers to arrive. Nunez said the driver in the other vehicle involved in the crash left the area before CHP officers arrived.
Ghaffarpour said sheriff’s investigators did not know whether the vehicle crash with the fire engine nearby was related to the jewelry store heist.
