A 19-year-old San Bernardino County resident, Jacob Vidana-Delgado, has been apprehended for allegedly operating an off-road vehicle recklessly in an intersection filled with children. The incident occurred near the intersection of Mojave and Alexandria Streets in Adelanto on a recent Friday evening around 5:30 p.m.
The Victor Valley Sheriffs Station reported that Vidana-Delgado was observed driving a Polaris off-road vehicle at unsafe speeds into the crowded intersection. Despite deputies efforts to pull him over, the suspect reportedly refused to comply, instigating a police chase. During the pursuit, Vidana-Delgado allegedly continued to accelerate, disregard public safety, and failed to halt at controlled intersections.
Officials report that Vidana-Delgado eventually returned to his home, with deputies tailing him. Upon reaching his residence, he was taken into custody without any further altercations. Charges against the 19-year-old include evading a peace officer with disregard for public safety and reckless driving on a highway. Following the incident, his off-road vehicle was towed away from the premises.
No injuries were reported in relation to the incident. The case is currently under investigation. Members of the public with any pertinent information are urged to contact Deputy M.
