A motorist died after someone got into his car at a Norco gas station on Monday, May 12, and started driving while the victim was partially in the backseat, dragging him until he was ejected from the vehicle.
Deputies responded just after 12:20 p.m. to the ARCO gas station at 675 Hidden Valley Parkway, east of the 15 Freeway, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. They found the stolen vehicle and detained a suspect.
Deputies also found the victim, a male, and took him to a hospital, where he died.
Neither the victim nor the suspect were immediately identified.
The investigation was ongoing, and no further details were available.
