GLENDORA >> Coroner’s officials have the man fatally struck by an alleged DUI, hit-and-run driver from Claremont while working under the hood of a car last week.
Brian Pasley, 58, of Glendora succumbed to his injuries at a hospital shortly after the 10:10 a.m. April 13 crash along Grand Avenue, just north of Arrow Highway, Los Angeles County coroner Assistant Chief of Operations Ed Winter said.
He was working on auto repairs along the side of the road when a Scion xB driven by 29-year-old Mark Stephen Gagliardi of Claremont slammed into the rear of the car Pasley was working on, Glendora police Cpl. Bill Lee said at the time.
Gagliardi fled the scene but was found and arrested nearby after his damaged car broke down less than a half-mile away, Lee said.
Investigators allege Gagliardi was driving while intoxicated and arrested him on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, felony DUI and hit-and-run, according to the corporal.
According to Los Angeles County booking records, Gagliardi was released from jail pending his initial court appearance after posting $136,000 bail.
