A late-night street race between two brothers turned deadly Wednesday when one of them lost control of his vehicle and crashed into another vehicle, killing himself and seriously injuring three people.
The brothers were racing east on the open, straight mile-long stretch of Highland Avenue about 10 p.m. when the pace of competition quickly changed.
One of the brothers lost control of his 1992 Mitsubishi GT 3000, causing it to slide head-on into a Toyota Corolla traveling west, said Lt. Rich Lawhead, spokesman for the San Bernardino Police Department.
I can’t imagine… what it feels like,” he said of the surviving brother.
The San Bernardino County coroner’s office later identified the dead brother as 19-year-old Mark Anthony Jimenez.
The driver and passengers inside the Toyota were not racing and just happened to be driving through the area at the time, he said.
They suffered major injuries, and one had undergone several surgeries, Lawhead said.
Police tried to talk to Jimenez’s brother, but he declined to give a statement. The brother was not arrested. Read more..
