Multiple law enforcement agencies and emergency first responders, including the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s newest helicopter, “Star 97”, responded to the reported crash.

The first arriving California Highway Patrol Officer arrived just three minutes after the initially dispatched call. However, before any first responders had arrived, a caller reported the person who had been driving the vehicle had fled the location on foot.

When first responding officers and emergency personnel arrived on scene, they eventually located the mangled vehicle. A records check showed the vehicle had been reported as stolen out of the city of Beaumont.

As of this report, emergency crews were still working at attempting to recover the stolen vehicle. No further information is available regarding the suspect who had been seen fleeing the scene of this accident.
