Moreno Valley man arrested on attempted murder charge in 60 Freeway shooting
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - A Moreno Valley man was arrested on an attempted murder charge after another man was shot and wounded on the 60 Freeway in the City of Industry Thursday morning, authorities said.
California Highway Patrol officials said the shooting was reported on the westbound lanes of the freeway near the Crossroads Parkway exit at 6:10 a.m.
SkyFOX flew overhead and showed traffic was stalled as investigators searched for shell casings and other evidence. All lanes reopened by 9 a.m.
Later in the investigation, authorities discovered a black Ford F-250 and a gray Honda Accord got into a collision west of the Azusa Avenue exit. The driver of the truck was identified as Michael Vickers, a Moreno Valley resident, and the driver of the sedan was Dustin Williams, of Ontario.
After the crash, investigators said Vickers fled the scene and Williams proceeded to follow him. Williams positioned his Honda in front of the Ford truck in the slow lane between the Hacienda Boulevard exit and Seventh Avenue. Williams got out of the Honda and confronted Vickers. That’s when officials said Vickers shot Williams and left the scene.
