Scott Goss Injured and Dragged in Vacaville Hit-and-Run Crash

Vacaville, CA (August 09, 2026) – A 57-year-old man suffered injuries and was hospitalized after being hit by a vehicle in Vacaville early Sunday morning.

Around 2:30 a.m., Scott Goss was walking south on Alamo Drive toward a 7-Eleven to get a snack when he was struck from behind by a car and dragged. The 57-year-old was left in the roadway after the crash, family members said. Goss was found next to a scooter and subsequently transported to a hospital with moderate injuries. He has since undergone surgery.

The Vacaville Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call 707-449-5286. No information was immediately available about the driver.


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Motorists can help prevent hit-and-run crashes by staying aware of their surroundings and yielding to pedestrians crossing the road, even outside designated crosswalks. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roads, with an average of 682,000 hit-and-run crashes occurring annually since 2006.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said that in cases like this, having a seasoned attorney conduct an independent investigation promptly is essential to protecting the victim’s rights.

“Securing the right resources is critical to investigating a hit-and-run case and establishing negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, speaking to Accident Injury News. “An attorney can also help ensure that a hit-and-run driver is held accountable for their reckless actions.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Scott Goss may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Bond noted that the stress and worry following a serious injury can be overwhelming, disrupting nearly every part of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“It’s vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, since an attorney can negotiate with the insurance company on the client’s behalf,” said Stefano Formica, Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims into settling for a quick payout far below what the case is actually worth. An attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure they’re treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
