A stolen vehicle was recovered after a driver crashed into a tree on East 19th and Patterson streets at 11:35 p.m. on Sep. 24. No one at the scene was injured.

The black, 2003 Volkswagen Passat was reported stolen from the 1400 block on Hilyard Street at around 11:48 a.m. on Sep. 23.

The suspect is described as a 6-foot-2 inch white male in his 20s with medium facial hair. He was last seen running westbound on 19th Street. A Eugene Police Department K-9 unit came to the scene to search for the suspect but was unsuccessful.

University of Oregon student Emma Patrick was at the intersection shortly after the crash, where she heard a loud voice saying, “Dude, run!” Then she saw a male, with medium build walking “briskly” away from the area. Patrick saw two of the car doors open and beer cans scattered inside.

“The whole bumper was on the grass and the driver’s side was pinched shut. The airbags deployed, too,” said Patrick. “I’m surprised they didn’t side swept any cars coming down Patterson.“

“I was expecting to call 911 and pull someone from the car. It’s truly unreal there was no one in the car,” she said.
