File # I230950108
Details:
On April 5, 2023, at 7:41 PM, deputies responded to the intersection of San Jacinto Avenue and Esplanade Avenue, in the city of San Jacinto, regarding a major-injury traffic collision, involving a pedestrian. Deputies arrived and located a male subject down in the roadway, with severe injuries. Cal-Fire responded, and the subject was transported to a local area hospital. The subject later died due to injuries sustained from the collision.
The San Jacinto Sheriff’s Station Traffic Collision Reconstruction Team responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. Preliminary investigation revealed the male ran across San Jacinto Ave when he was struck by two separate vehicles. Both vehicles stopped and the drivers cooperated with the investigation. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision.
The collision investigation required the temporary closure of San Jacinto Avenue, north of Esplanade Avenue. Anyone with information related this incident is encouraged to contact Deputy Bunn at the San Jacinto Sheriff’s Station at 951–766–2366 or Riverside County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 951–776–1099.

I hate to be the one to say it, but tweakers and fiends run around after dark and wear dark clothing. Our fearless leaders need to take heed from cities who allow criminals to overrun the streets, and use that extra 1% sales tax they burdened us with to sharpen the stick.
Well I hate to say this to you dude that person who ran across the street was no tweaker nor was he a fiend he was a dear friend of mine who was completely sober and was with his wife he ran across the street to get a pack of cigarettes at the liquor store as they were in their own car probably purchased by them as well. You have no right to speak on something like that if you don’t know the factors in this that’s why it’s called an accident it’s not called a tweaker running across the street or a fiend it’s called a human being bro you know they’ve got those things on this Earth
