The suspect driver fled on foot....Generally when someone does this, the vehicle isn't registered to them, can't be traced back to them, they have no insurance, no license etc.....Happens all the time...Every hour actually.

When legit joe or jane citizens are involved in a collision, the law is going to know exactly who the registered owner is if the driver flees ...Generally when a citizen flees the scene, the only thing they can come up with is, "My car was stolen".

The driver of this vehicle, is done.

I wonder if the hit and run driver is an illegal.

I think that it's a pretty good bet, since:

1) It's SOP for illegals to flee the scene of a car accident on foot.

2) More damning, is the fact the article doesn't ID the offender.

[RatRipper]

I’ll bet the perp’s name is something like Paddy Schwartz. /s

Here ya go:

"The driver of the van that apparently ran the red light, Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, fled the scene, according to police. Gallo, of Riverside, was later arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run. The passenger in the van, Raymond Alexander Rivera, 21, was taken to Western Medical Center-Anaheim with minor injuries, according to Fullerton officer Laura Markoski.

“Gee. The driver of the minivan fled.

Hmmm. I wonder why?”

It’s called ‘Illegal Alien Insurance’. Crash the ride? Run and Hide!

[Atlas Sneezed]

CNN is reporting now that the name of the driver who killed him is Andrew Thomas Gallo.

Sounds like he had a few bottles of Gallo a bit earlier.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but about 3 years ago here in the Chicago area there was a big story about a deranged female nude dancer who decided to try commit suicide by driving 75 MPH on a busy suburban main thoroughfare. She blew a stop light on purpose and t-boned a car carrying 3 or 4 very talented young men, mostly musicians, who worked together in a music store. All the young men were killed, but the deranged stripped only suffered a broken ankle. This piece of human excrement only served 2 and half years in jail, and is now out walking around. Why do the guilty always seem to survive to enjoy another day of sunshine , while their talented victims are with us no more?

Don't know if Gallo is illegal, but I'd bet he is hispanic.

The driver who allegedly fled the scene on foot was caught, arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run...

I'm hearing the driver was found drunk in nearby Anaheim.

[RatRipper]

Lost the bet

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I have never understood why the penalty for killing someone while driving drunk is so light. The car is being used the same way a gun is.....

[ANGGAPO]

Since no one has said this, I suspect he is another illegal alien with a fake drivers license.

One of the vehicles, a gray Mitsubishi, slammed into a power pole, Brower said. Two of its passengers were dead at the scene, he said. The other two were transported to UC Irvine Medical Center, where a third later died. The remaining passenger was in critical condition, Brower said.

Murray said Adenhart underwent surgery and died at the hospital, but did not know if he died during or after the procedure.

A passenger in the minivan was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Brower said. The third vehicle sustained minor damage, and its driver was unhurt, he said. Police did not identify any of the dead.

The minivan’s driver fled the scene and was later arrested, Brower said. Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside will face charges of manslaughter, felony driving under the influence and hit-and-run, he said.

Humph! I just now saw his photo on CNN...Looks Hispanic to me.

[jpl]

Do you happen to have a link to that photo by any chance?

I'm starting to wonder now if Andrew Thomas Gallo is truly his real name.

[RatRipper]

Hard to tell sometimes from the name only. Who would have thought Richard Reid was a radical muzzie just by his name?

An then Gov. Bill Richardson comes to mind . . .

[spectre]

Sorry, I haven't seen it on the internet yet.

But he is Hispanic.

We just got photos of Courtney Stewart, the driver of the Mitsubishi Eclipse in the fatal crash which killed Nick Adenhart. Sadly, she also passed away.
