SJ County man on scooter killed in hit-and-run crash - KCRA Sacramento
Charles said she won't forget Pringle, who rode his scooter daily and once returned a hat he had outside that he knew was hers. "I was just amazed because he was sitting on his scooter and he had to take a stick to knock on my door because he couldn't get up on my porch," Charles said. A driver reported finding the victim on West Washington Street near Del Norte Street at 4:48 a. m. Saturday, the California Highway Patrol said. It was dark then, but neighbors said the road, which is next to the Port of Stockton, can be busy. Officers found pieces of the vehicle that struck Pringle's scooter at the scene and have based a vehicle description on what they found. "Based on the physical evidence, the driver should have been aware that they had collided with something and needed to stop for that reason alone," said CHP spokesman James Smith. Investigators are looking for a dark-colored Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, model year 2001 to 2004. Smith said the vehicle should have obvious front-end damage, including damage to the right front fender, right front bumper, and right front headlight.
