Pacifica police are trying to find the driver of a vehicle that ended up in flames on the grounds of Terra Nova High School on Tuesday night.
Officers responded at about 10:10 p.m. to a report of a vehicle fire at the school at 1450 Terra Nova Blvd. and arrived to find a black Nissan engulfed in flames, police said Wednesday.
Investigators determined the Nissan had struck an unoccupied parked car on Terra Nova Boulevard, then went down a hillside and onto school grounds, where it came to rest against the high school’s theater, according to police.
North County Fire Authority crews arrived shortly afterward and put out the fire. No one was inside the car at that point and officers did not find the driver.
A witness reported seeing the vehicle turn from Fassler Drive onto Terra Nova Boulevard and said the vehicle was already on fire as it approached Terra Nova. The witness could not identify the driver, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call Pacifica police at (650) 738-7314. People can leave anonymous tips at (650) 359-4444 or online at cityofpacifica.org/depts/police.
