Sheriff’s deputies on Sunday night were trying to unravel an apparent shooting and car accident at Amesti and Green Valley roads on the outskirts of Watsonville.
Emergency dispatchers reported numerous victims in the 6:30 p.m. accident, and multiple ambulances were called, including an air ambulance.
Sheriff’s deputies could not be reached to comment.
At the scene, officers discovered at least one victim in a green BMW sedan that had run off the road. A late-model white GMC pickup flipped during the accident.
Sheriff’s deputies were searching for a red pickup driving from the scene, and possibly a Cadillac Escalade, according to emergency dispatchers.
It was unclear exactly what occurred, but witnesses told deputies that numerous shots were fired in the incident and one person may have been struck in the head.

I’ll go out on a limb and say this was probably gang related jack-assery.

Ok, check this out. My friend witnessed the whole thing, even saw the truck with the offenders (two people) who shot at the guy in the Beamer. He pointed out to the cops that arrived that “it was a dark truck! They went down Green Valley! If you go now, you can still catch them before they get away!”
None of those cops moved. Not one. There was CHP there, Watsonville PD, and Deputies, and not one of those cowards would chase these killers. That’s how the one was able to drop off her passenger, and get all the way to Monterey county, to be apprehended by Monterey county deputies and then handed off to Santa Cruz deputies.
I swear to god, cops are such lazy, cowards these day.

Rawnerves…cops have things called radios and other cops…therefore they can use said radio to call other cops and tell them where to go and what to look for…you may not see said other cops but they are. And other cops that are told this may not be local cops hence why the other agency stopped the vehicle. Hello!!?!!

“nervz”must be beatting u to it? A 3rd masn is M.I.A along with the gun one of the BMW’s passenger carried. Now who’s the lucky man who dindn’t fled but WITNESSED, you or your friend?From both I give u an A+ for quick thinker and actor.Took the fire of yourselfs and threw it all on the Cadilac, like magic. Cops aren’t cowards & lazy it’s more like stupid because the witnessed or witnessed friend is an offender himself. So they stood & walked away with gun planned in advanced to try & be used on the Cadilac passengers.Quick thinkers like yourselfs but with the opportunity to put it up & out by a second faster. OTHERWISE the tables would have been turned, Right?

Cops are probably afraid of getting shot up. Thats why they didnt chase them down. Its all going to turn it south central L.A. down there. If any of you can,you should move out of state before you are targeted or shot at on the road while driving the kids to school. If any of you have kids think how bad its going to be for them in the furture. It will never ever get better down there. Believe it or not there still nice little towns that gangsters are not in control of. Lucky we found ours. No more bullets in our walls and drive bys.No more rapes at the beach 2 blocks a away from our home..none of it..
