The incident officials are referencing occurred on June 21, 2017. Seen in a phone video that went viral after the incident, a road-rage fight between the driver of an orange motorcycle and the driver of a silver sedan driving on SR-14 near the Newhall Ave. onramp caused a Cadillac pickup truck to overturn and injure the vehicle’s occupant.

CHP Newhall officials held a press conference today to update the public with details about the arrest and the suspect.

SGT Gomez, PIO for southern division CHP opened up the conference by revisiting the initial incident that sparked the investigation and then introduced Assistant Chief Mark Garrett before the public.

“This incident garnered national attention, the reason is because it was such a sensational quite frankly issue regarding public safety” said Garrett, “Today I’m very proud to announce that we have made an arrest of the individual who we believe is responsible for this incident, that individual is Andrew Flanigan, 45  years old of Arleta California.”

Andrew Flanigan, rider of the motorcycle was booked on $110,000 bail for three felony charges, felony assault with a deadly weapon, felony reckless driving, and felony hit and run.

During an 8 month long investigation, CHP investigators were able to identify Flanigan as the suspect in hit and run incident, according to Assistant Chief Garrett.

CHP investigators decided to monitor Flanigan in order to build a case and insure we had the proper amount of evidence along with the district attorney’s office to make an arrest.

Assistant Chief Garrett took the opportunity to remind the public about the incredible responsibility when operating a  motor vehicle on a highway.

“Remember the danger that a 4000 lb pound vehicle or maybe even a 600 lb  vehicle can pose to innocent people and yourself” said Garrett, “when you’re out there, things may happen that may irritate you, that may frustrate you, but ultimately your job to yourself first and the other motoring public is to get home safe.”

Assistant Chief Garrett ended his statements by thanking the DA’s office, investigators of the CHP along with the joint task force with US Marshals before opening up the conference questions.
