Caught on Camera

Manuel Herrera, 19, allegedly crashed into a traffic pole in Marysville, Calif. The pole — with a red-light enforcement camera attached — fell into the bed of his pickup truck, and Herrera allegedly sped off. He stopped a couple miles from the crash scene and went back to adjust the camera in the truck and drove off again, but not before a witness caught him on camera. Officers caught Herrera at a friend’s house allegedly trying to get rid of the camera. He was arrested on charges of hit and run traffic collision, and grand theft. Police say Herrera claimed he fled the scene because he was late for work. (MS/KXTV Sacramento) ...He might be a few years late now.
