RIVERSIDE – An adult and a teenage boy were injured this morning when they were struck by a suspected drunk driver while walking on a Riverside sidewalk, a police lieutenant said.
The crash happened at 2 a.m. at Hole and Collett avenues, according to Riverside police Lt. Christian Dinco.
“The subject was involved in an altercation with family members before getting into his car and hitting the pedestrians and a fire hydrant,” Dinco said. “He was arrested for domestic violence and hit and run.” He was arrested for suspicion of DUI as well.
The suspect drove his car over a curb to strike the victims, the lieutenant said.
The adult and juvenile suffered injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, although the juvenile was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center for evaluation, Dinco said.
