"As the motorcyclist reached speeds of nearly 150 miles an hour, tailed by a phalanx of police cars on the 210 Freeway, he was putting distance between himself and the home where, according to authorities, he had just shot and killed a sheriff's deputy. With viewers watching on live television Monday afternoon, he easily evaded a motorcycle officer who tried to stop him."
"It quickly emerged that the driver of the Camry was a San Bernardino County narcotics deputy who was off duty when the pursuit started, went back on duty and deliberately swerved into the motorcyclist, later identified as 47-year-old Angelo Jose Saldivar. Saldivar was captured by television cameras sitting up on the pavement before being airlifted to a hospital, where he was in stable condition Tuesday."
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Nunez, 28, was shot and killed during a domestic violence call in Rancho Cucamonga. The suspect fled on a motorcycle onto the 210 Freeway, reaching nearly 150 mph while being pursued by multiple police vehicles. The motorcyclist appeared to evade a motorcycle officer and manipulated a gun during the chase. An off-duty San Bernardino County narcotics deputy returned to duty and deliberately swerved his Camry into the motorcycle, causing the rider to be ejected and captured. The rider, identified as Angelo Jose Saldivar, was airlifted in stable condition and is expected to be charged. Policing experts said the deputy’s intervention was probably justified.
