GILBERT, AZ — Gilbert police are asking for the public's help identifying a driver and vehicle that they say have been involved in multiple reckless driving instances recently.
In one of those instances, on Feb. 17, the driver nearly hit a group of juveniles near the intersection of East Sagebrush Street and South Colt Drive in the Morrison Ranch neighborhood.
Police posted a video showing that incident on their Facebook page:
Brandon Ryff, who captured the incident on surveillance video, spoke to ABC15 and said, "The feeling of kids being run over by a truck is something that... I'm glad nobody was hurt but that could’ve been very tragic. And we shouldn’t wait for it to become tragic before acting.”
“This takes the cake. I’ve never in my life seen anything like this and I hope I never do again,” he added.
Bruce Law, a nearby neighbor, said, “Obviously these kids have got to be terrified. This guy is just driving all around the park. No concept of any sensibility or civility. It is shocking. Absolutely shocking.”
Police say the vehicle, a white Toyota Tacoma, has been involved in other incidents in the area, too. They did not elaborate on the other incidents or how many occurred.
Gilbert police are also looking for help identifying two other vehicles, a dark-colored sedan and a white sedan, and the victims involved.
If you have any information, you are asked to call the Gilbert Police Department non-emergency line at 480-503-6500.
