A Sacramento man was arrested late Saturday after he allegedly was involved in a hit and run accident.

According to Elk Grove Police, 23-year old Phung Tran was involved in a collision near Sheldon Road and Lewis Stein Road and fled the scene on foot. As a result of the accident, a passenger in the other vehicle in the accident sustained an injury that required medical attention.

Responding officers began an extensive search and located Tran approximately two miles from the collision scene. Upon contact, the suspect displayed objective signs of impairment.

Tran was arrested then transported to a local area hospital since he was involved in a collision. After he was medically cleared, he was taken to the county jail where he has been released on bail.

One of the interesting aspects of this is that on a TV news report, many of the neighbors thought the residence was empty. Surely one of the "growers" or an occasional car would have to be seen by the neighbors.

More than likely this is probably increasingly typical in our neighborhoods city wide - people simply don't bother to know their neighbors. This typically happens in neighborhoods were there are a preponderance of renters.

No matter how much Mayor Davis spins his little catch phrase of building stronger neighborhoods, with a large portion of local residents being transient in nature, you will never, never have strong neighborhoods without owner-occupants.

I fear we are fast becoming a suburban version of an tenement slum.
