A 49-year-old man was arrested early Saturday after a suspected DUI crash in Rancho Cucamonga left a bicyclist dead, authorities said.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department named Gerald Willis of Rancho Cucamonga as the suspect who allegedly struck cyclist Daniel Soto, 41, with his black 2019 Jeep Compass around 2 a.m. Saturday. Soto, who was riding in a group including his juvenile son, was on the shoulder of westbound Arrow Route heading toward Haven Avenue when he was hit, according to deputies.
Emergency personnel pronounced Soto, a Riverside resident, dead at the scene.
Willis, who deputies said was under the influence at the time of the crash, was booked on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter and held at the West Valley Detention Center.
Investigators urged anyone with information regarding the crash to contact Deputies D. Rusk or M. McDonald at (909) 477-2800.
