Menifee police are searching for the driver of a white vehicle allegedly involved in a crash that killed a teenager riding an electric motocross-style motorcycle, authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Officers responded Wednesday to Briggs Road and Gabriel Road at approximately 8:19 p.m. after receiving a report of an unconscious pedestrian on the roadway with a severe head injury, according to the Menifee Police Department.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, they found a teenager on the roadway with injuries. Paramedics and CAL Fire personnel arrived at the scene and determined the victim had died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
Authorities identified the victim as a 15-year-old Menifee resident. They also stated that the teenager was riding an electric off-road motocross-style motorcycle, known as an eMoto.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told investigators they saw a white vehicle traveling south on Briggs Road toward Garbani Road while dragging what appeared to be a bicycle under its front end.<\/p>\n
The vehicle continued moving after the bicycle came loose and did not stop or report the collision, according to police.<\/p>\n
The driver fled the scene in a white SUV, possibly a minivan, which likely has damage to the front bumper and passenger-side headlight, police said.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the cause of the collision remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the case is asked to contact the Menifee Police Department’s Traffic Unit at 951-723-1638 or the Traffic Unit at 951-723-1500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Menifee police are searching for the driver of a white vehicle allegedly involved in a crash that killed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[610,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-432516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-inland-empire","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
