The vehicle was located near C Avenue and Yucca Street just moments following the 911 call. According to witnesses at the scene, the driver who appeared to be under the influence was detained at the scene. It is unclear if the person detained was arrested at this time, but he was confirmed by authorities to be a suspect.

The Sheriff’s Major Accident Investigation Team — MAIT will remain at the scene for several hours to conduct the investigation. Once the preliminary investigation is complete additional information will be updated.
