A three-vehicle road rage incident in San Bernardino resulted in the death of one person and left another critically injured on Saturday morning. The crash occurred around 10:45 a.m. when a Dodge Ram truck and BMW coupe were traveling eastbound on Base Line Street near D Street.
According to the San Bernardino Police Department, "At some point, the Dodge tried to overtake and pass the BMW, but was unsuccessful and clipped the BMW on the side." This caused both vehicles to collide with an oncoming minivan which sent all three cars through a fence and into the front yard of a home located at 350 West Base Line Street.
"The guy was doing maybe 50-60 and just plowed straight into them, like literally when you crush a can of soda, the side of it was like that," said Robert Garcia whose grandmother's home was damaged during the crash.
The minivan driver was transported to hospital where they later died from their injuries. A passenger in the minivan remains in critical condition. The truck driver fled from scene before police arrived while BMW driver remained uninjured cooperating with police officials.
Witnesses believe speed played an important role.
Officers are currently searching for hit-and-run driver as witnesses provided police with suspect’s description while investigation is still ongoing.
