A teenager was arrested Wednesday in connection with a series of hit-and-run collisions in Huntington Beach, California. According to police spokesperson Jessica Cuchilla, the suspect is believed to have intentionally struck three bicyclists, killing one, over the course of a single night.
The first incident occurred at 10:30 p.m. Sunday night, when a bicyclist reported being sideswiped by a black Toyota. The cyclist sustained minor injuries. Fifteen minutes later, another cyclist reported being aggressively sideswiped by the same vehicle just up the road from the first collision.
Fifteen minutes after that, a black Toyota was seen striking a third cyclist, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe the driver of the vehicle intentionally targeted the cyclists.
