According to Antioch Police, a 47-year-old man succumbed to injuries shortly after being struck by a reckless driver doing doughnuts. The vehicle fled the scene after impact.

The pedestrian was airlifted by air ambulance to a local hospital in critical condition and about 20-minutes after the crash, police followed up on leads and located the vehicle and driver in the parking lot of Grocery Outlet said Antioch Police Lt. John VanderKlugt.

The driver was a 19-year-old Hispanic male who Lt. VanderKlugt says will be taken to County Jail and charged with vehicular manslaughter and felony hit & run.

The identity of the driver and the victim were not released Monday night.

This has become a common occurrence in our area. Check out intersections in the Gateway subdivision. Check other residential in Oakley and you’ll see tire marks left on the asphalt from these morons. In the nice weather we sit in our livingroom with doors and windows open and can hear the screeching of tires. It goes on and on but P.D. doesn’t seem to locate them in time . I can only wish that those that are partaking in this activity see this story and think “But for the grace of God go I”.

Maybe now Antioch will bring back its traffic unit. People are making very poor choices all over east county roads. Law enforcement can only do so much but this didn’t have to happen. People need to realize vehicles are a weapon. Now this kid will pay the price. I feel sorry for the family.

It might be my friend. He just turned 19 and is Mexican. He visits his brother out in Antioch and does doughnuts in his car. I’m not going to say his car but if anyone knows the description of this persons car let me know please.

Go west bound on the new highway 4 and look at the pavement from Somersville on. It is just black from the drivers doing donuts. Where is CHP when we need them?

I saw that on my way into work and was blown away that could be done on highway 4 just past the Somersville onramp. That looked like a side show too, i.e., several cars, not just one.

I’m curious, was the victim just on the street walking randomly or was he watching the side show? I mean not that it matters a poor man died, but if you put yourself somewhere where there’s trouble, what do you expect? I’ve seen those shows on social media and think damn the person recording is way too close and damn near got hit? It’s like who’s fault is it if he gets it, the guys doing donuts or the guys geting to close to the action cheering on each donut?
