FRAMINGHAM - Police are searching for two men they said fled a crash that damaged five cars on Rte. 9 on Saturday.

Police do not know if anyone was injured in the 2:08 a.m. crash, according to a police report.

On Saturday, a witness told police that he was passed by a Subaru sedan going at a high rate of speed. The man said the car was going "sideways" at one point when the driver lost control and the car went airborne and crashed, police wrote in the report.

When police arrived, they found the heavily damaged Subaru WRX, as well as numerous other cars damaged at the Herb Connolly Hyundai, 500 Worcester Road. No one was in the car.

Police wrote that the Subaru crashed into a parked Saturn, pushing that car 50 feet. The Saturn slammed into two other cars, pushing those cars about 15 feet.

"At that point, it appeared the car went airborne," officers wrote.

The car struck the car dealership sign and landed on two more cars, police wrote in the report. There were parts of cars strewn out more than 150 feet from where the crash ended, police wrote.

Another witness told police she saw two men running from the crash. She told them she was calling police, and they told her not to.

Police searched the car and found a backpack containing both a bag of marijuana and a jar of marijuana. They also found several nip bottles and Budlight Lime cans of beer. They found a marijuana pipe and other items associated with marijuana use, police wrote.

Also in the car, they found a passport and other items that identified the owner of the vehicle as Leonam Alves. Police went to his home, but a man there said Alves was not home, but said Alves did drive the Subaru daily, police wrote.

Police ask anyone with information about the crash to call the Framingham Police at 508-872-1212.
