Unclear if they had worked up an appetite from a late-night sprint, but suspects from a hit-and-run on the freeway were reportedly caught hiding in a nearby restaurant over the weekend in Pleasanton.

In a social media post highlighting a couple of crimes covered by its graveyard shift overnight last Friday into Saturday, the California Highway Patrol’s Dublin office described the case of a car crash on Interstate 580. 

The individuals responsible for the crash fled the scene on foot from eastbound I-580 near Hopyard Road, but they were soon located at Denny’s just over a block from the freeway interchange. According to the CHP, officers found two guns in the possession of the hit-and-run suspects. 

Additional details about the case, including the suspects’ identities and potential charges, were not immediately available.

The CHP also reported that a local unit on that same graveyard shift stopped a driver who was traveling 122 mph without their seat belt on. “Why?” the agency asked rhetorically in the social post, followed by a shrug emoji.
