The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) is investigating the cause of Monday morning’s fatal collision on Pigeon Pass Road and has not yet identified those involved.
“At this time, the cause of the collision remains under investigation and the identity of the involved parties will not be released pending next-of-kin notification,” Deputy Sgt. Robert Grmusha of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a press release.
At approximately 12:40 a.m. on Monday, Riverside County deputies from the Moreno Valley Station responded to a report of a traffic collision on Pigeon Pass Road, south of Hemlock Avenue. Upon arrival, the deputies found an unknown male lying on the ground who was unresponsive and without a pulse, Grmusha said.
