POMONA, Calif. (KABC) -- Two people were killed and another person was critically injured in a violent hit-and-run crash in Pomona Sunday night, police said.
The crash happened around 8:45 p.m. in the area of Garey Avenue, between Bonita and Harrison avenues, according to the Pomona Police Department. When officers arrived, they found an overturned SUV with the three victims trapped inside.
An adult female passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The driver and front passenger in that vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.
Witness Bill Ryczek said he heard the crash and rushed out to help.
"I ran up over the fence, saw everything in disarray and upside down," Ryczek said. "I jumped off, was first on scene. Everything was chaotic. The gentleman in the car seemed to be severely injured."
The witness said he saw a man running away from the scene and he chased him on foot, but the man got away.
