Prosecutors are scheduled to announce charges against the driver Wednesday in a chase that ended in a crash that killed a sheriff’s deputy aide in San Bernardino County.
Ryan Dwayne Turner was arrested Monday after a chase and a horrifying crash at an intersection in Victorville. San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson announces the charges at a press conference at 12:30pm.
San Bernardino County Sheriff Deputy Hector Kuevas Jr. passed away at the scene of a crash in a high desert community. The video shows two patrol SUV splits scattered near the intersection of Seneca and Hervead roads, and shards.
The black sedan at the intersection appeared to have damaged the front-end with airbags deployed inside the car.
Dozens gathered at the crash scene Tuesday night to lament the 36-year-old aide. Flowers, candles and other items were left in honor of six years of members of the department who were remembered as stand-up individuals, a deep loss to the community.
He is survived by his wife, two young children, parents and siblings.
San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dikas has announced the arrest of Turner Jr., 22, of San Bernardino in connection with the crash. Turner was previously arrested in another car chase.
After the crash, a procession of law enforcement officers escorted Quebus’ body to the San Bernardino Coroner’s Office. The queue passed through the parking lot at the Victorville Police Station, about a mile east of the collision.
Firefighters on top of the two fire trucks parked on the elevated highway in tribute as the procession passed.
Victorville has a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office of Police Services.
