Saucedo now faces two counts of murder for the deaths of two small girls, aged 2 and 4, in a crash last week involving a stolen truck.
The events leading up the collision unfolded at about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday when sheriff’s officials received a call about a stolen Ford F-250 in Pittsburg, CA. A short while later, a deputy spotted the truck on Bailey Road and followed it as it went east on state Highway 4. The deputy initially did not turn on his emergency lights. Sheriff’s officials said as Saucedo exited the highway at Somersville Road, he allegedly sped up, prompting the deputy to turn on his emergency lights. source
Then Saucedo allegedly drove through a red light and the Ford F-250 he was in collided with a Ford F-150 with the two girls and their mother inside.
Saucedo was also charged with felony evading, possessing a stolen vehicle, possessing methamphetamine and possessing heroin.
Anyone with any information about the collision or anyone who witnessed it is asked to call the sheriff’s investigation division at (925) 313-2600.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and this difficult time.
