Two drivers were arrested Saturday, April 20, after they peeled out from a large gathering of cars in San Bernardino and one was abetted by people on foot who blocked a deputy’s path, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n

One was a 25-year-old resident of Riverside and the other was an 18-year-old resident of San Bernardino./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n

The crimes happened around 10:15 p.m. at the intersection of Hospitality Lane and Tippecanoe Avenue. Deputies from the Central station in the city saw about 200 cars in a parking lot./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n

“The deputies observed a driver … in a silver BMW, exit the parking lot at a high rate of speed, causing the vehicle to lose traction and momentarily veer out of control, endangering a group of 10-15 pedestrians who were in close proximity,” a news release said./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n

That driver, from Riverside, did not get away even though a deputy “encountered resistance from pedestrians who obstructed the patrol unit’s path,” the release said. He was arrested on suspicion of reckless driving./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n

The other driver similarly skidded as he tried to drive away. He was arrested on suspicion of evading a peace officer after a short pursuit, the release said./wp-json/wp/v2/posts/4269228/n
