“No one stopped and helped out Mr. Fuentes and he laid there,” Det. Ryan Moreno said at a news conference. “The guy on the motorcycle, he could have easily went on the street, maybe stopped and blocked traffic and prevented maybe the second or third collision from happening but he elected to get back on his motorcycle and took off and fled the scene.”

Police described one of the other vehicles involved in the incident as a white sedan.
