Police arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder after he drove
his car into a bus bench full of people Sunday afternoon at Golden
West College, police said.
Six people suffered minor injuries and four of them were
hospitalized when Moreno’s silver 1995 Ford Thunderbird veered off a
driveway into the bench.
“Considering somebody could have been killed, I think we were
pretty lucky on this one,” Sgt. Mike Kellysaid.
Reyes Juaquin Moreno, 41, of Van Nuys, was charged with attempted
murder with a vehicle because police have reason to believe his
actions were intentional.
“There was evidence that he did it on purpose,” Kelly said.
Moreno did not cooperate with police and two officers suffered
minor injuries when they had to subdue him, police said. Police
suspected Moreno was under the influence of alcohol and possibly
other drugs, Kelly said.
California Highway Patrol officers informed Huntington Beach
police that Moreno’s car matched the description of a car involved in
an incident on the off-ramp of the San Diego (405) Freeway at
Goldenwest Street moments earlier.
