[08-23-2022] San Bernardino County, CA- Motorcyclist Injured in a Hit-and-Run Crash in Hesperia

According to authorities, a hit-and-run driver rear-ended and injured a motorcyclist who was stopped at a red light in Hesperia on Tuesday, August 23, 2022.

It happened around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, at the intersection of Main Street and Escondido Avenue.
According to Sheriff’s spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez, the motorcycle driver was rear-ended by the driver of a Honda Accord, and the impact knocked the rider off the motorcycle, causing minor injuries.

According to Rodriguez, the driver of the Honda fled southbound on Escondido. The Honda suffered moderate front-end damage, including the loss of the front bumper, but the driver of the Honda has not been found.

The victim’s fiancé expressed disappointment on Facebook that the driver simply left without checking to see if he was still alive. “From what he recalls, the license plate began with “T2,” she added. “The car will be missing the front bumper and will have hood damage.” “I’m not sure what color car I want.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hesperia Police at 760-947-1500.

HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT STATISTICS

It is against the law to flee the scene of an accident. Every minute of every day, a hit-and-run accident occurs in the United States. An estimated 2,000 Americans have died in hit-and-run accidents across the country since 2006.

Accidents involving hit-and-runs are becoming more common. Since 2009, the number of fatalities caused by hit-and-runs has increased by 7%. An increase in hit-and-run accidents is to blame for an increase in unintentional road deaths.

During this period, more people were killed in California than in any other state in hit-and-run accidents. California accounted for more than one-fifth of all traffic fatalities in the United States, with 3,056 people killed in 2,948 collisions.

Injuries from a car accident can be extremely upsetting. It’s even worse when the other driver refuses to stop and accepts responsibility for the accident.

They are more likely to flee the scene of an accident if they are intoxicated, driving without a license, or fear arrest for their actions.
