WEST HILLS (CBSLA) — The Los Angeles Coroner’s Office has identified the man involved in the horrific motorcycle accident that made waves across the Southland on Thursday.
The incident took place on Thursday afternoon, when undercover officers with the Los Angeles Police Department began tailing the motorcycle after witnessing something that caused suspicion. After running the license plates through their system, it was determined that the vehicle was stolen.
When they attempted to pull the suspect over, now identified as Ruben Contreras Jr., 30-years-old, he fled.
Aerial footage from CBS LA’s Sky2 Chopper showed Contreras traveling at speeds well over 100 miles per hour as he traveled down Roscoe Boulevard just after 1 p.m. His reckless driving led him through several intersections and around other vehicles uninvolved in the incident.
When he reached the intersection of Roscoe Boulevard and Fallbrook Avenue, he collided head-on with a vehicle attempting to make a left turn. He was launched into the air and landed several hundred feet away from the spot of the collision.
He was pronounced dead on the scene. Officials from the Coroner’s Office declared his cause of death as blunt force injuries.
Two other people were injured in the incident, however they were expected to recover from non-life-threatening injuries.
One less to not prosecute.
“He was pronounced dead on the scene.”
great news!
I think its a little bit beyond calling him a “suspect” at this point, yea?
COD was actually resisting reality and operating a motor vehicle without a brain.
'ya think? :-)
Has he been voting often?
“He was pronounced dead on the scene.”
All 6 parts of him.
SPJNK.
Stole a bike and hurt people in the process.
Good riddance.
Some days your the windshield, some days you’re the bug. Bet he won’t have the guts to do that again!
Can we post porn on here?😎
He turned into a Ruben Sandwich.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a motorcycle total a car.
Bug bye Ruben!
Someone order half a Reuben?
You seem to know a lot about it.
Back in 1964 I was awakened by a loud crash in the intersection one door down from our house. Turned out a motorcyclist ran a stop sign and broadsided a car. The car was hit so hard it flipped over. This is back in the days most cars were big and motorcycles were small.
Motorcycles weigh around 400-600 pounds. A few hundred pounds of steel moving at over 100 mph will have a LOT of kinetic energy.
