Alleged DUI driver arrested for deadly hit-and-run in Perris
An alleged DUI driver was arrested for a hit-and-run crash that left a woman dead on a 215 Freeway onramp in Perris last week. It happened at around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday on the Placentia Avenue onramp, according to the California Highway Patrol. It was there that officers say the driver of a Ford F-150 driving southbound on the freeway before entering the ramp struck a woman who was also heading in the same direction on foot. Instead of stopping to help the woman, the driver fled from the area. With the assistance of the Menifee Police Department, the driver was located and taken into custody, CHP said. They were booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, felony hit-and-run, driving with a suspended or revoked license and vehicular manslaughter.

Incognito police vehicles begin catching law violators in Northern California
( — The California Highway Patrol unveiled specially marked patrol vehicles this month to help them operate more discreetly when catching people who break the law. So far, it seems to be working. CHP in the Yuba-Sutter area said it was issued a new incognito vehicle on Wednesday. Almost immediately, it caught a Lexus driving at a dangerous speed on the freeway. CHP unveils new fleet of bold colored vehicles 'We made it exactly two miles from Fleet Operations in West Sacramento when we had the Lexus cruise by us at 97 miles per hour in the carpool lane,' CHP said. 'Our officer had an electronic ticket device, which made quick work of issuing an out-of-area citation to the driver.' CHP said the citing was the purpose of the new vehicles. 'He didn't see us when he passed us. This is what these SMPV's are designed to do – To stop the egregious offenders.' CHP added, 'Pre-answering the question on how to avoid being stopped by this SMPV? Simply obey the rules of the road and you will never see it.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
