A San Bernardino man died Friday, Aug. 7, in a three-car crash in San Bernardino.
The San Bernardino Police Department on Saturday, Aug. 8, did not release the 41-year-old’s name.
The man was a passenger in a taxi that was stopped on the westbound side of Highland Avenue at Del Rosa Avenue about 10:15 p.m. Friday, according to a Police Department news release. At the same time, a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban was driving westbound on Highland Avenue “at a high rate of speed,” the news release said.
The Suburban crashed into the taxi, a Ford Crown Victoria, and caused both vehicles to continue into the intersection of Highland and Del Rosa avenues. One of the vehicles collided into a Honda Civic that was making a left onto Highland Avenue.
When paramedics arrived, they found the 41-year-old man dead at the scene. The 25-year-old driver of the Honda Civic suffered minor injuries and the 56-year-old taxi driver was transported to a hospital via ambulance with moderate injuries.
The male driver and female passenger of the Suburban fled the scene of the collision on foot, and remained at large Saturday.
