The collision the man-caused occurred early on Monday, at about 2:15 a.m. on Mission Boulevard east of Jurupa Valley. The preliminary report showed that Henderson struck Green, who was walking on an unspecified part of the roadway and kept on driving for 300 yards.
He stopped close to the intersection of Rathke Drive and Golden West Avenue with the deceased’s body underneath his vehicle. The authorities pronounced Green dead at the scene. The driver and his unidentified passenger were uninjured in the accident.
The investigators said they found an open container of alcohol in Henderson’s car, and he failed a field sobriety test. The suspect does not have any documented convictions, but it is not clear if this is his first DUI arrest.
