LAPD investigator Ryan Moreno condemned the drivers ’actions because they didn’t stop.
“No one stopped and didn’t help Mr. Fuentes when he lied,” Moreno said at a news conference.
“The biker guy could have easily gone out on the street, possibly stopping and blocking traffic, and preventing a second or third collision.
“But he decided to get on his motorcycle and took off and left the scene.
The LAPD asks anyone with information about Fuentes ’death to contact the Southern Traffic Department.
