Yuma police on Sunday said they were still looking for the passenger of a car filled with nearly 500 pounds of marijuana that fled from the U.S. Border Patrol and smashed into an apartment. Two adults and two children were uninjured when the car crashed into the apartment in the 2300 block of South Arizona Avenue, police said. The driver and passenger took off on foot, police said. The passenger has not yet been located, but the driver was found hiding in a yard of a residence in the 2300 block of South Walnut Avenue, police said. The incident began about 6 p.m. when border patrol agents spotted people loading bundles into a white Jeep Cherokee SUV near County Ninth Street and the Colorado River. The Jeep fled when the border-patrol unit attempted a traffic stop near County Ninth and Avenue D, police said. Due to the high speed of the Jeep, the border patrol shut down lights and sirens at about 16th Street and Avenue A. The driver was identified as Hector Nunez, 17, and was booked into Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center on charges ranging from felony flight to possession of marijuana, police said. Bundles of marijuana weighing about 476 pounds were found in the car, police said.
