The car went through a fence and hit the side of a house, damaging a wall, Reid said. The vehicle did not go through the wall, and no one in the house was injured. The driver abandoned the vehicle and left the scene, Reid said.

The truck spun out and hit a light pole, trapping its driver inside, Reid said. The driver — Francisca Ramos, 46, of Oxnard — had to be freed by firefighters. Ramos had minor injuries, Reid said.

Anyone with information should call 477-4100.
