Fatal Riverside County Pedestrian Accident Suspect Found
A man suspected of killing a Banning pedestrian in a Riverside County hit and run auto accident was located, detained, and interviewed at the Banning Police Department on February 2, 2010. This fatal Riverside pedestrian accident took place in front of 4500 Ramsey Street in Banning, on January 30, 2010, resulting in the death of 17-year old Cody Rodenbucher.
The suspect, 28-year old Sachin Bhakta from Banning, was taken into custody at the Holiday Inn Express on Ramsey Street after Banning police conducted a sweep of the hotel with the help of the Riverside County Sheriff's Bloodhound team. The police were able to apprehend him as a nearby surveillance camera had caught images of his car as it went east on Ramsey Street after striking Rodenbucher.
Our office wishes to convey our sincere prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Cody Rodenbucher. It is so disheartening to note that so many teenagers are losing their lives in hit and run car accidents in Riverside County. We urge all residents of the area to be more cautious when they step onto the roads, be it on foot or in a car.
