BELLEVUE, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman was suspended indefinitely by the team Thursday after his arrest in a hit-and-run investigation.

Coleman was booked into King County Jail in Seattle early Thursday and bail was denied until his first court appearance. He was arrested by Bellevue police but details were not immediately available. An afternoon news conference was scheduled.

Coleman’s agents said in a statement “it seems Derrick may have fallen asleep while driving home from a Seahawks’ facility.”

The King County prosecutor’s office said that because Coleman was not booked until after midnight his initial court appearance will be Friday at the earliest. He is being investigated for vehicular assault and felony hit and run.

Bellevue police described the accident on Twitter shortly after it happened Wednesday night as a “heavy rescue.” A police photo of the scene showed one vehicle on its roof on a steep, grassy embankment and another across a hedge, on its side on the roadway below.

Coleman is in his fourth season with the Seahawks out of UCLA. He was on the practice squad in 2012 before making the 53-man roster in 2013. Coleman missed 11 games and the playoffs last season because of a broken foot.

Coleman is legally deaf and his football success has made him an inspirational figure. He has been featured in TV commercials and written a book that was released this year.

LOS ANGELES — John Stamos has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of a drug after he was arrested for erratic driving in Beverly Hills in June, prosecutors announced Thursday.

The “Full House” star was charged Wednesday and is due to be arraigned on Friday. The charging document does not identify the drug Stamos was allegedly using.

Stamos was arrested on June 12 on suspicion of driving under the influence and was hospitalized for a possible medical condition. Police said at the time they determined Stamos was under the influence at the hospital, but have not released further details about the incident. If convicted, the actor faces six months in jail.

Beverly Hills police declined to identify the drug Stamos had allegedly taken before his arrest.

The charges come at a busy time for Stamos, 52, who is working on a reboot of “Full House” for Netflix and has a Fox sitcom, “Grandfathered,” which premiered on Sept. 29. The show centers on Stamos’ character, who discovers he has a son and infant granddaughter he never knew about.

Stamos’ publicist Matt Polk did not immediately return email and phone messages Thursday morning.

ONTARIO >> A woman died and two children were injured in a crash Wednesday afternoon.

Shortly before 2 p.m., a 73-year-old Ontario woman driving a Ford Taurus sedan with her two granddaughters as passengers, ages 10 and 8, left a 7-Eleven convenience store at 2945 South Vineyard Avenue.

When the vehicle pulled out into traffic on Vineyard Avenue, it was broad-sided by a black Chevrolet Tahoe SUV driven by a 27-year-old Ontario woman, police said.

Initially, witness information led police to believe the crash was head-on, but as the investigation progressed they discovered that wasn’t the case. The woman was pronounced dead at the location, and her grandaughters were taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Police don’t believe drugs or alcohol attributed to the crash.

The woman driving the SUV received minor injuries, police added.

A fatal motorcycle crash early Wednesday led to the shutdown of Highway 138 near the 15 Freeway in the Cajon Pass, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The fatal crash took place around 6:30 a.m. A witness reported the rider was struck by an unidentified vehicle, according to the CHP incident log. Initial reports indicated a vehicle ran over the rider and kept going.

Authorities issued a SigAlert for the area, and officials shut down both sides of the highway to conduct an investigation.

FONTANA >> A driver is recovering after suffered major injuries in a crash on the eastbound 210 Freeway near Sierra Avenue that launched a truck off the freeway and into a dealership on Wednesday morning, California Highway Patrol officials said.

• Video: Truck launched into Fontana car dealership

“In my opinion, it was a road-rage incident,” said Brian Kwong who captured the crash on his dashcam. “I heard some honking after the Mustang cut the truck off and the truck wasn’t too happy about it. That led to the truck trying to speed pass the other car. I was a little scared because they almost hit me.”

The crash, first reported around 7 a.m., involved two vehicles, according to the CHP incident log.

• Video: Dashcam video from Mustang involved in crash

The video shows the truck go out of control, strike the Mustang and then the truck goes off the freeway and up and over the embankment into the Rock Honda car dealership, striking vehicles on the lot.

The truck went up the embankment, through a fence, hit a parked car and came to rest on its side, said San Bernardino County firefighter Chris Prater.

It took rescuers 20 minutes to cut the man who is in his 50s, out of the crumpled truck.

He suffered moderate to critical injuries, said Prater, and was taken to a nearby trauma center.

Family members of the unidentified driver said he was “banged up” but would recover.

The driver — who asked not to be identified — of the Mustang also had a dashcam rolling when the crash took place. That video shows that prior to the crash it appears both vehicles tried to merge into the same lane.

CHP officials are investigating the incident.

ONTARIO >> The family of a man killed in an alleged hit-and-run collision over the weekend has started a GoFundMe account for support.

Darryl Sevesind, 24, of Ontario was found dead early Sunday in the 1900 block of Laurel Avenue, where police had received a call of a vehicle-versus-pedestrian hit-and-run.

Tanya Quintero, 20, was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run resulting in death, Ontario police said in a statement.

According to the GoFundMe page, all proceeds will be forwarded to the family to help.

LA VERNE >> One lane of the westbound 210 Freeway in La Verne will remain closed until about 9 a.m. this morning after a tour bus stalled and caught fire in the carpool lane late Sunday night, the California Highway Patrol reported Monday.

The No. 3 lane was still shut down as of 6 a.m., according to the CHP incident log, and reports show that crews would require about three more hours to completely clear the lanes to morning traffic.

The mishap was reported on the westbound 210 Freeway just west of Fruit Street at 11:36 p.m. Sunday, said CHP Officer Patrick Kimball. The incident was first reported as a stalled tour bus, with people out of the bus walking in lanes, the CHP said.

Thirty-eight passengers got off the bus and lined up against the center divider, Kimball said. No injuries were reported.

A SigAlert was issued shutting down all lanes of the westbound Foothill Freeway so that the passengers could be safely moved to the right shoulder to await another bus from a charter company in Monterey Park, he said.

The closure was also ordered to enable crews to clean up diesel fuel and oil that spilled into a storm drain, the CHP said.

The carpool lane and lanes 1 and 2 were reopened at 4:40 a.m., the CHP said. But the slow lane remained closed while cleanup continued.

The bus was returning from a casino trip and appeared to be from the W&H charter firm, a news videographer reported from the scene.
