DETALLES:
El martes, Agosto 25, 2015, en alrededor 7:04 p.m., two Oxnard police officers were traveling northbound on Rose Avenue near the intersection of Mountain View Avenue. En este momento, they were transporting a prisoner in the rear seat of the patrol vehicle. When the officers stopped for the red light at Fifth Street behind several other stopped vehicles, their patrol vehicle was suddenly rear ended by a white, 2005 Chevrolet Colorado pick-up truck driven by Armando Lomeli Rico.
Officers at the scene contacted Driver Rico and arrested him on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol. He was not injured as a result of the collision.
Both officers and the prisoner sustained minor injuries and were transported from the scene to Saint John’s Regional Medical Center for treatment. Driver Rico was later booked into the Ventura County Jail on charges of felony DUI causing injuries and for driving with a suspended driver’s license resulting from several prior DUI convictions. Driver Rico had also been court ordered to install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle but one was not found in the truck.
If anyone has information about this collision, please contact Traffic Officer Jesus Sedeno at 805-385-7749 o por correo electrónico a jesus.sedeno@oxnardpd.org.
