An unidentified driver ran from the scene of a high-speed crash that killed a 57-year-old man in San Bernardino on Tuesday evening, March 8, police said.
The crash happened at about 10:05 p.m. when a Dodge Challenger was headed north on South Pepper Avenue and struck the rear of a Toyota Corolla headed the same direction at a high rate of speed, the San Bernardino Police Department said in a news release. The force from the crash caused the Toyota to crash into a streetlight, authorities said.
The driver of the Dodge fled the scene on foot and was not found, police said.
