Family and friends are mourning a man killed in a violent crash Wednesday in Fontana, where a wanted suspect was fleeing from California Highway Patrol officers.
Richard Pshock was on his way to a doctor’s appointment when he was killed. He was in the intersection of Beech and Cherry avenues when Noe Armando Banuelos slammed into Pshock’s Mustang with a Jeep Cherokee.
“You just never think that this could happen. He made your life bright,” family friend Tianna Roman said.
Roman is still in shock after learning Pshock, the man she looked up to growing up, is gone.
“I’m sad it was him,” Roman said. “I’m glad he is at peace, and we know with our faith that we know he is where he is supposed to be.”
Dash cam video shows Pshock entering the intersection when Banuelos came flying through. The violent crash sent both vehicles across the road.
“He was on his way to a VA appointment just outside the cul-de-sac… the person just slammed right into him,” Roman said.
According to CHP, 32-year-old Benuelos fled from officers following a traffic stop for speeding on the 15 Freeway. During the stop, the officer learned Banuelos had a federal arrest warrant.
