Crash into Home
Deputies attempted to stop the truck, but the suspect, identified as Anthony Lara, turned northbound on Weaver Street and began to speed away, deputies said. He was believed to be armed.
Deputies said he blew through a stop sign at Baseline Street but lost control of the truck, veered left, and crashed into a home on the northwest corner of Clear View Lane.
Deputies said that a man and a dog inside the home were not injured and evacuated to safety.
The two other occupants of the truck, a 49-year-old Yucaipa man and a 32-year-old Highland woman, were pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Gloria Huerta said they were not victims of the kidnapping incident, but their relationship with the suspect wasn’t immediately known.
