Drivers arrested in San Bernardino after fleeing giant meeting of automobiles

Two drivers have been arrested Saturday, April 20, after they peeled out from a big gathering of automobiles in San Bernardino and one was abetted by folks on foot who blocked a deputy’s path, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department stated.

One was a 25-year-old resident of Riverside and the opposite was an 18-year-old resident of San Bernardino.

The crimes occurred round 10:15 p.m. on the intersection of Hospitality Lane and Tippecanoe Avenue. Deputies from the Central station within the metropolis noticed about 200 automobiles in a car parking zone.

“The deputies noticed a driver … in a silver BMW, exit the car parking zone at a excessive price of velocity, inflicting the car to lose traction and momentarily veer uncontrolled, endangering a gaggle of 10-15 pedestrians who have been in shut proximity,” a information launch stated.

That driver, from Riverside, didn’t get away despite the fact that a deputy “encountered resistance from pedestrians who obstructed the patrol unit’s path,” the discharge stated. He was arrested on suspicion of reckless driving.

The different driver equally skidded as he tried to drive away. He was arrested on suspicion of evading a peace officer after a brief pursuit, the discharge stated.

Both automobiles have been impounded.
