Riverside police say person drove into group during fight, killing 1 and injuring 3

One person died and three others were severely injured after a driver crashed into several people during a fight in Riverside early Sunday morning, according to authorities.

The Riverside Police Department told CBS LA that it received multiple reports of a large fight that had spilled into the street from a house party in the 3500 block of Franklin Street around 12:39 a.m.

During that incident, a driver behind the wheel of a vehicle hit several individuals, police said. Video from the scene showed the suspect's vehicle still sitting in the middle of the street with a shattered windshield and smashed hood.

Upon arrival, officers determined that the suspect, who remains unidentified publicly, intentionally drove into the individuals. They are now investigating the incident as a homicide. 

A person who remains unidentified publicly was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said two others were transported to Riverside Community Hospital in critical condition, and a fourth victim was transported to the hospital for treatment of their unspecified injuries.

The suspect was later detained, police said, but it's unclear if a formal arrest was made.

Residents living in the surrounding area were shaken by the incident. 

"You don't want nobody to die, you don't want no shootings. It's dangerous for the neighbors," said Benjamin Cardenas.

Video from the scene showed the suspect's vehicle still sitting in the middle of the street with a shattered windshield and smashed hood.

One neighbor shared footage from their home security camera just moments after the crash happened, which showed a female who appeared to be in distress pleading for help.

They said that this is the second weekend in a row that a house party in the area has gotten out of hand, and they're hopeful that the latest incident can lead to an increase in police activity and a response from city leaders.
