POMONA — Authorities today released the name of a motorist who was killed in a solo crash in Pomona over the weekend.

Angel Arrieta, 31, of Pomona died at the scene of the crash, which occurred about 8:45 a.m. Sunday on South Reservoir Street near East Phillips Boulevard, said coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter.

Pomona police Cpl. J.T. Garcia said Arrieta was the only person in his vehicle, which struck a parked car, a wall and then a fire hydrant.

Reservoir Street was closed in the area for several hours while an investigation was conducted. Police urged anyone who saw the crash to call the Traffic Services Bureau at (909) 620-2081.

POMONA >> A 33-year-old woman died in a two-vehicle crash early Tuesday morning on the westbound lanes of the 10 Freeway at Dudley Street, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred just after 4:30 a.m. and blocked the carpool and fast lanes for a short time, according to the CHP incident report log. Reports indicate the impact caused the vehicles to land facing the wrong way.

A woman was pronounced dead just before 5 a.m., CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos told City News Service.

Although crews managed to reopen all lanes of traffic within about 30 minutes, backup from the crash was being reported along the westbound freeway to Euclid Avenue in Ontario just after 5:15 a.m.

POMONA >> Not even Mother Nature could delay Southern California’s Del Worsham from entry into the NHRA record book Sunday at the Auto Club Finals in the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season-finale.

Worsham, a Villa Park resident who also resided in Chino Hills, became the third driver in the 64-year history of the sanctioning body to win a pro class title in two classes. In 2011, Worsham won the Top Fuel title and this year, his second season competing for legend Connie Kalitta, added the the Funny Car title.

The 45-year-old joined an elite class with two titles in those two classes, Don Prudhomme and Kenny Bernstein

He wrapped up the title in the semifinals when he outraced Norco’s Jack Beckman, who maintained the pressure with a pair of record runs. The 45-year-old Worsham covered the 1,000-foot strip at Fairplex in 3.928 seconds at 327.35 to advance into the finals and win the title. His championship run against Tommy Johnson Jr. was just icing on the cake.

To claim his 38th career victory, 30th in a Funny Car, Worsham had to beat some of the best in the class. He scored wins over one-time champion Tony Pedregon, Robert Hight and before eliminating Beckman.

It was a homecoming of sorts for Worsham. Twenty-five years ago, he made his drag racing debut at the same track, driving a car owned by his father Chuck and losing to Ed McCullouch in the first round. On Sunday, he defeated the two drivers closest in points – Beckman and Tommy Johnson Jr, – in consecutive rounds, with a 3.900 second pass at 328.14 mph in the finals against Johnson as icing on the championship cake.

Worsham said his team found something during testing prior to the Labor Day U.S. Nationals. While it didn’t payoff at the most prestigious race of the season, the Kalitta Motorsports crew fixed in in time for the Countdown and Worsham responded by winning three of the first four playoff races and at Pomona.

It was a tough loss for Beckman, who did manage to score extra points by twice setting the elapsed time record. He finished 56 points behind Worsham, despite winning seven national events to Worsham’s four.

“We said whoever would win it earned it. Nobody is holding their head,” said Beckman. “We did amazing things on the race track and amazing things for our injured vets with Infinite Hero. We’ve had, by all standards. a career year for the entire team. “The points just didn’t come out in our favor with the Countdown and the points being reset.” Worsham was joined in the championship throne room by Andrew Hines, who packed away his fifth Pro Stock Motorcycle in the second round when Jerry Savoie, his closest competitor and top qualifier, was taken out by Sunday’s eventual event winner Eddie Krawiec. With the win over Matt Smith in the finals, Krawiec, whose crew chief is Andrew Hines’ brother Matt, moved into second place in the standings.

“It was a long struggle with the issues we had in the middle of the season,” said Hines. “It was a total team effort by Vance & Hines, they all put in a long of hours. This was extremely stressful.

“It was a totally relief to go the distance. But when you have a teammate that’s a bad ass, put a lot of pressure on a lot of people.”

Funny Car and PSM were the only pro classes without a champ heading into Pomona. Antron Brown claimed the Top Fuel dragster title two weeks earlier in Las Vegas and continued his success by reaching the finals against Shawn Langdon, who won the season-opening Winternationals on the same track for Alan Johnson Racing.

However, Langdon secured the trophy for Don Schumacher Racing by coming from behind and win against his DSR teammate. Langdon, who started drag racing as a youngster in nearby Mira Loma, covered the 1,000 foot distance in 3.715 at 332.43 to beat Brown’s 3.732 after Brown had gained a 0.012 second advantage off the starting line.

In Pro Stock, Allen Johnson won the final race that featured a carburetor in the class. Johnson covered the quarter-mile distance in 6.541 at 210.18 to defeat a fast-closing Vincent Nobile, representing Mountain View Tire out of Upland, ran a fast-closing 6.540 at 6.540 but managed to move up and finish sixth in the final standings.

NHRA announced earlier in the season the 2016 will be the first with electronic fuel injectors in the class.

Two-time class champion Erica Enders-Stevens was taken out in the semifinals, and she wasn’t happy with herself.

“I didn’t drive like I wanted to this afternoon, but our season was great,” she said. “The competitor in me is really mad that I screwed up. I am human and it’s the first time I’ve done so probably since the spring.

“I guess we’re all entitled, but at the same time I’m better than that.”

RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> Archie Green III, the man suspected of driving drunk and causing a Nov. 5 traffic collision that killed San Bernardino police Officer Bryce Hanes, pleaded not guilty to felony charges Tuesday morning.

Green, 27, of Fontana appeared for a video arraignment in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga to face charges of gross vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. He is scheduled back in court Dec. 2.

Deputy District Attorney Jason Liso said Green’s blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit.

Hanes’ family was not in the courtroom for the arraignment.

Green’s attorney, Ludlow Creary III, said his client is “devastated” by Hanes’ death. Creary also said Hanes was not wearing a seat belt the night of the fatal crash.

Creary said his client is a “father and family man.” He is an honor student with no criminal record, who was raised in Buena Park and has ties to the community, he said.

The defense attorney requested a bail reduction or his client’s release on his own recognizance, but the judge denied the request and kept Green’s bail at $250,000.

“The judge is supposed to consider the safety of his community when considering bail,” said Liso during a news conference following the proceedings. “Also, legally speaking, in order to lower bail in a case like this, the judge has to find unusual circumstances, and the fact that he’s young and lacks a record isn’t an unusual circumstance such to let him out of custody in a case like this.”

Green’s family was present in court, but they did not comment.

Ontario police, who arrested Green, deferred a request for comment on whether Hanes was wearing a seat belt to the San Bernardino County district attorney’s office.

“Our office has released all the information related to this case at this point,” said DA spokesman Christopher Lee.

“This is an ongoing case. No further details will be released at this point.”

Hanes, a 40-year-old Redlands resident, had just dropped off an inmate at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, when police said Hanes’ vehicle was broadsided by a dark blue 2008 Dodge Charger driven by Green just after 2 a.m. Nov. 5 at Etiwanda Avenue and Fourth Street in Ontario.

The impact left the patrol car pressed into a traffic light pole.

A witness told investigators that the Charger’s driver ran a red light and collided with Hanes’ vehicle. The police officer had a green light, according to the witness.

Hanes, a 12-year member of the San Bernardino Police Department, is remembered as a family man devoted to his department and community.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> No one was hurt when a vehicle collided with a school bus carrying 28 students this afternoon near Los Osos High.

The minor crash occurred around 3:20 p.m. when the packed bus was struck by a brown Toyota vehicle as it traveled northbound on Milliken Ave. approaching the curve at Wilson Avenue.

Sixteen students were transferred to a different school bus, and 13 students were released to their parents.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, officials said.

“Although it seldom occurs, it is nevertheless unnerving to learn that a district bus is involved in an accident,” said Mat Holton, superintendent of Chaffey Joint Union High School District. “However, I’m sincerely thankful there were no injuries.”

The motorist who slammed into a San Bernardino police patrol car, killing Officer Bryce Hanes early this morning near Rancho Cucamonga, may have run a red-light.

A witness told investigating officers that the motorist ran a red light and crashed into Hanes’ vehicle. Hanes had a green light, according to the witness.

Police officials say Hanes’ vehicle was broadsided by the other motorist. At the scene, the patrol car was pressed into a traffic light pole.

The traffic collision at Fourth Street and Etiwanda Avenue, may be DUI-related, police said.

Initial reports indicate Hanes had just dropped off an inmate at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga when the crash happened.

The crash is under investigation by Ontario police.

ONTARIO >> A San Bernardino police officer was killed early Thursday after his patrol unit was slammed into by a car driven by a man who police suspect was driving drunk.

Bryce Hanes, a 40-year-old Redlands resident, had just dropped off an inmate at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, when police said Hanes’ vehicle was broadsided by another motorist driving a dark blue 2008 Dodge Charger just after 2 a.m. at Etiwanda Avenue and Fourth Street in Ontario.

The impact left the patrol car pressed into a traffic light pole. A witness told investigating officers that the Charger’s driver ran a red light and collided into Hanes’ vehicle. The police officer had a green light, according to the witness.

The Charger’s driver, 27-year-old Archie Green III of Fontana, was hospitalized with minor injuries. When he’s released from the hospital, Green will be booked into county jail on suspicion of felony DUI causing death and vehicular manslaughter, according to Ontario police, who are investigating the crash.

Later Thursday morning, a procession of police escorted Hanes’ casket, draped in an American flag, back to San Bernardino, where flags hung at half-staff at City Hall, and a department and hometown mourned.

“It’s with a great deal of sadness that we announce that we lost an officer overnight to a traffic collision,” said Jarrod Burguan, San Bernardino police chief.

Hanes is a 12-year veteran of the San Bernardino Police Department, with a wife and three children under the age of 12. Burguan described him as very well-liked, very committed to his job and a tremendous loss to the agency.

“He’s been an exemplary officer, completely dedicated to this city, this agency,” the chief said.

PART OF THE COMMUNITY

Hanes worked in patrol all 12 years of his service in San Bernardino and spent the majority of those years on the overnight shift. The crash Thursday occurred close to the start of his shift.

He is survived by his wife, Alice, and children Abigail, 12, Katie, 10, and Benjamin, 7, police said. He also has a brother in law enforcement, a San Bernardino police detective who recently retired from the department.

Hanes graduated from San Bernardino High School in 1993 and was remembered by staff there as a good student who played on the varsity football team.

“He used to come in to my classroom during lunchtime and play chess,” recalled Clifford Corigliano Sr., the biology teacher at San Bernardino High School. “He was actually pretty good.”

Although Corigliano hadn’t seen Hanes since he graduated from high school, he said news of Hanes’ death hit him and other faculty hard.

“It’s a very sad thing to know that someone who you taught has died,” he said.

Students and staff will hold a moment of silence for Hanes during the school’s homecoming rally Friday morning.

LOSS RIPPLES ACROSS STATE

The officer’s death reverberated across the state, with dozens of agencies taking to social media offering their condolences to Hanes’ fellow officers and his family. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck tweeted: “The men and women of #LAPD are mourning the death of @SanBernardinoPD Officer Hanes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family!”

Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Capitol flags to be flown at half-staff.

“Anne and I are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Officer Hanes,” Brown said in a statement. “We offer our heartfelt condolences to Officer Hanes’ family, friends and co-workers at the San Bernardino Police Department. We join all Californians in mourning his loss and vow to always remember his selfless service and sacrifice on behalf of his community.”

San Bernardino Mayor R. Carey Davis attended a news conference Thursday morning and expressed his grief upon learning of Hanes’ death.

“I’m very saddened by the loss of one of our police officers,” Davis said. “I know Bryce was very well liked, loved, not only by the police department but beloved by his family.”

Davis later released a statement asking community members “not to forget the sacrifices made by our police department and by their families. I am grateful for his service and I ask that you please continue to keep Officer Hanes’ family and our SBPD family in your thoughts and prayers.”

Law enforcement officers from various agencies around the region went Thursday morning to Kaiser Hospital in Fontana, where Hanes was taken and later died.

San Bernardino had gone a decade and a half without a fatal on-duty crash involving one of its officers, officials said. The last one was in 2000.

Memorials with flowers were growing late Thursday at the San Bernardino Police Department and at the crash scene.

“I just want to tell him and his family that I am so appreciative of his duty to our county,” Corigliano said. “I want to thank anyone who puts that uniform on every day. It’s so sad to have it end this way. I send to his family my condolences.”

Anyone who may have witnessed or who has information about the collision can contact Ontario Police Department Traffic Officer Fred Ruiz at 909-395-2001, Ext. 4687, or 909-986-6711.
