“There is a high suspicion of human cause, the case has been referred to EPD,” said Colin.

Conlin urges the public to call dispatch if they see anything suspicious, even if they think the incident has already been reported.

“The ”bystander effect” kicks-in, and sometimes people think someone else has called, so they don’t,” she said. “We don’t care if we get five calls about the same thing, we just want you to call.”

No injuries were reported, EPD is looking for the owner of the vehicle and suspect, anyone with information is asked to call (707) 441-4060.
