RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> A 22-year-old man was arrested Friday night after crashing into a vehicle, fleeing the scene and then crashing into a railroad crossing arm.
Kevin Rodriguez was driving a red sedan when he reportedly hit another vehicle at the intersection of Arrow Route and Haven Avenue around 10 p.m., said Sgt. James Mahan, with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Rancho Cucamonga station.
The victim’s husband, who was in another car, followed Rodriguez as he headed eastbound on Arrow Route. Rodriguez then crashed into the railroad crossing just west of Milliken Avenue.
“He broke off the crossing guard arm and then crashed into the railroad signal,” Mahan said.
Deputies arrived and arrested Rodriguez on suspicion of driving under the influence and hit-and-run, Mahan said.
The street was closed briefly while the scene was cleared. The crossing guard arm will be repaired after the holiday weekend, he said.
