A man, who stole a truck the other day, and was seen on the 210 Freeway in downtown San Bernardino, is wanted by police.
The owner of the truck saw the suspect driving away in his truck, followed him in another vehicle and called 911 to report it. Police caught up with him at one time, but lost him at the transition of the 210 and 215 freeways. Police stopped the pursuit when the driver entered the freeway going the wrong way. Shortly after this happened, he collided and killed a 47-year old Riverside motorcyclist and then fled the scene on foot.
When caught, he will face charges of auto theft and gross vehicular manslaughter or murder charges.

A 20-year old man, was killed by a pickup truck while crossing a street in San Bernardino recently. The driver, a 20-year old man drove away from the scene leaving a critically injured victim.
According to California Vehicle Code 2001(a), “The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.” In addition, California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) states, “Driving under the influence is also a serious crime.”
Authorities caught up to him and arrested him on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter and felony drunk driving. I would like to extend my condolences to the family of the man for their tragic loss. I hope the family contacts an experienced San Bernardino Personal Injury attorney who will make sure the negligent party is held accountable for this fatal accident. The family would be wise to file a wrongful death claim seeking medical and funeral expenses along with loss of a loved one.
