Two men have been arrested following an incident on the Tahquitz High School campus.
On Saturday, August 31st, 2024, at about 7:57 PM, Hemet Police Communications Center received a 9-1-1 call regarding a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle in the 5500 block of W. Devonshire Avenue. Officers arrived on scene within minutes and discovered a deceased male in the roadway. Officers could not locate a vehicle at the scene and determined that the involved vehicle had fled the area prior to law enforcement’s arrival.
As the end of summer approaches and families prepare for Labor Day celebrations, The Hemet Police Department reminds everyone to prioritize safety on the roads. Drivers are encouraged to make responsible choices behind the wheel by never driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. “We want everyone to enjoy their end of Summer travels and Labor Day festivities, but it’s imperative to do so responsibly,” Sergeant Matt Chavez of The Hemet Police Department said. “Driving under the influence not only puts your life at risk but also endangers everyone else on the road. Our goal is to reduce preventable crashes and save lives.”
