LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lakeport resident Sarah Chapman is asking for the community's help in identifying the person responsible for crashing into her parked car early Sunday morning.

Chapman said that at approximately 1:55 a.m. someone screeched around the corner and slammed into her 2005 Buick LeSabre, parked in the driveway in front of her Oak Knoll Avenue home.

She said the collision happened with such force that it moved her Buick about 10 feet, leaving it parked parallel to her house.

After hitting her vehicle, she said the driver in the other car sped away. Lakeport Police responded and took car parts left at the scene for evidence.

Chapman said that the suspect car is believed to be silver and is now missing a right front blinker light. The serial numbers indicate the vehicle may have been in 1994 Honda Accord.
