A Rialto man was arrested Monday after the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said he drove away from a deputy and ran a red light in Highland, killing a San Bernardino man.
The sheriff’s department said Frankie Ybarra, 42, was pulled over by a deputy near Victoria Avenue and Mirada Road at around 4:50 a.m.
Officials said Ybarra drove off as a deputy approached the vehicle. He then ran a red light at Victoria and Highland Avenues and crashed into a vehicle driven by 62-year-old Elmer Hull, the Sheriff’s Department said.
Hull died as a result of the crash, the department said.
“Ybarra ran from the collision and was apprehended a short time later,” sheriff’s officials said in a media statement.
Officials did not immediately say why Ybarra was initially pulled over, or what charge or charges he may now face.
