Driver sought in motorcycle crashes that killed 5 - FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/11/13/report-dead-socal-crash-cycles-involved/?test=latestnews)
The crash occurred shortly before 1 p.m. as an eastbound gold Honda Accord went into the oncoming lane to pass about a dozen motorcycles, some of them carrying two people, authorities said. That maneuver forced a westbound Dodge Avenger sedan to swerve on to the sandy shoulder to avoid a head-on collision.
Stanton said at that point the westbound car veered back across the road and into the cyclists.
"He lost control and then his vehicle just drove into the group of motorcycles," he said.
The Honda making the pass that triggered the accident was not damaged and did not stop.
"They're looking for that car and the driver," Stanton said. "He didn't stop, he kept going, he fled the scene."
Damn.
