A trucker fled the scene of a truck accident but was later found by Ontario police at a truck stop.
According to Ontario police, Francisco Lecaro of Perris of California left after hitting two people who were chaining up their own truck on a freeway off-ramp in Eastern Oregon.
Milton Belton, 49, died at the scene while Miguel Victorio-Alvarez, 45, sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Lecaro just made his situation even worse by running from the scene of the accident.
Instead of just worrying about civil liability lawsuits that could be taken care of the trucking company and its insurance company, he chose to leave the scene.
As a result, he gave the city a reason to prosecute him criminally.
The truck accident even resulted in death which means he could at be charged with vehicular manslaughter.
We all have a duty to stop after a vehicular accident. Not only because it is required by law but because it’s the right thing to do.
If he had stopped, he could have assisted the injured parties and could have avoided the death of Belton.
Instead, he left the scene and now he might be facing some serious jail time for his choices.
