A driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI after a motorist walking on the 10 Freeway was fatally struck Sunday night, July 24, the California Highway Patrol said.
At 11:49 p.m., a Buick was headed west on the 10 Freeway, east of Sierra Avenue in Fontana, at an unknown speed when it struck a person who was walking within the lanes of traffic after being in a prior solo crash at Sierra Avenue, the CHP said in a news release. This crash sparked a third crash when a third vehicle crashed into the first two wrecked cars, authorities said.
The person struck was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel, officials said. The victim was identified as Adrian Llamas-Navarro, a 25-year-old resident of Pomona, according to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office.
The driver of the Buick was arrested on suspicion of DUI, authorities said. The driver’s identity was not immediately available.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the first crash or whether anyone was injured in the third crash.
