Driver Claims to Have Lent Out Vehicle Involved in Hit-and-Run
Summary
– Police pursuit ends with driver’s strange explanation.
– Driver claims his friend borrowed the vehicle involved in a hit-and-run.
– Officers remain unconvinced, issuing a citation and flagging him for follow-up.
A high-speed chase across Joshua Road ended with officers pulling over Tommy Angelo, whose white F-150 was involved in evading police and whose black Escalade was linked to a recent hit-and-run involving a tow truck. Clocked at 84 mph in a 50 mph zone, Angelo attempted to dodge the pursuit but was eventually stopped.
When questioned, Angelo insisted he had loaned his Escalade to a friend but could not provide contact details. Officers, skeptical of his explanation, issued a speeding ticket and warned Angelo that he would be responsible for damages to the tow truck unless his friend came forward.
The incident remains open, with Angelo flagged as a person of interest in future investigations.
