Traffic Investigators Seek Witnesses to Early Morning Fatal Collision Traffic Sgt R. King explains that on Friday, June 6, 2008 at 7:03 AM the California Highway Patrol’s Inland Division Communications Center (located in San Bernardino) received a call of a vehicle found several hundred feet down an embankment off of Old Waterman Canyon Road and Highway 18. Officers from the San Bernardino Police Department, the CHP, and the San Bernardino City Fire Department responded to the scene. Investigators learned that sometime during the late evening or early morning hours, Mr. Phillip Hanson (age 22, of Lake Arrowhead), was driving south on Old Waterman Canyon Road in a 1986 Subaru. For unknown reasons, Mr. Hanson was unable to negotiate a curve, left the roadway and continued down an embankment. Mr. Hanson died at the scene. Police investigators are asking for the public’s help in locating any witnesses to this collision. The investigation is continuing. Any inquires or information should be directed to Detective John Cardillo at 909-384-5735.

ETA for CHP is less than 10. Copy, thanks

Need ETA on CHP and asked them to notify Coroner.

Battalion 131 copies cancel, available.

We have a DOA. I can handle with AMR.

We have AMR with us, all units can cancel. This appears to have happened sometime last night.

[scratchy] there is a vehicle over the side, looks like it has been there for awhile. We are hiking in to check it out. This is inside the city limits.

Can you contact the RP and find out where his house is so we can locate the vehicle over the side? 10-4
