Local couple says they were intentionally hit by pickup truck driver

FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace spoke with one victim about what happened.

"I think several people actually saw what happened," Zehring said. "They saw him turn into us and hit us."

The pickup pulled in front of the motorcycle.

"My husband laid on the horn at the same time, 'Hey, we're back here,'" said Zehring.

Then at the intersection of Fallbrook and Sky Bird Lane, the pickup rammed into the motorcycle.

Herman says the crash forced the couple off the road and into a light pole. They were then ejected from the motorcycle.

"The next thing I know, I look over and the front of his truck was hitting me, and what I remember next was my husband laying on the ground and screaming," Zehring said 

The suspect then drove away from the scene.

According to Herman, deputies are seeking information on the driver or owner of the pickup as a person of interest in this case. The pickup appears to be a silver or darker-colored GMC or Chevrolet 1500 pickup.

"If you have any information on the identity of the driver or owner of the pickup within the photos, you are urged to contact our dispatch or your local law enforcement," said Constable Herman.
