A driver was arrested early Sunday morning after law enforcement said he hit a man crossing Baseline Street in Highland hours before, killing him.
Kyle Michael Cornwell VI, 24, of Highland, was arrested at his home shortly after the crash that killed a 56-year-old man, who was found lying in the middle of Baseline near McKinley Avenue just past 10 p.m.
Deputies said witnesses at the crash scene saw a white Dodge Ram hit the man, then flee the area, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. The depuites also found evidence at the scene that helped them identify the Dodge. Officials did not say what the evidence was.
When they went to the home associated with the owner of the Dodge, they found Cornwell and arrested him.
Cornwell was booked on suspicion of a hit and run that caused a death. He has not been charged yet; Cornwell is expected to appear in San Bernardino Superior Court on Wednesday. He is being held on $50,000 bail.
The San Bernardino County coroner’s office has not yet identified the man who was killed.
