Perris residents called police Tuesday, Aug. 18, reporting that a pedestrian was hit at the intersection of Lake Perris Drive and Ramona Expressway in Perris.
But after the crash, which was reported at 5:21 a.m. Tuesday, the pedestrian “got up and ran away,” according to a CHP incident log.
About 5:30 a.m., Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene, Sheriff’s officials said. After interviewing witnesses and searching the area, they located the pedestrian. That took about an hour and a half, Sheriff’s officials said. The pedestrian claimed he was suffering from a leg injury from a separate incident, and that he was not hit by the car.
