2 girls struck; driver held
Police arrested a man who they say fled after crashing his pickup truck into a bus stop, injuring two teenage girls, one severely.
Police said 35-year-old Michael Tweedie of Rohnert Park was being held on suspicion of hit and run causing serious injury and driving under the influence in the Saturday crash.
The girls were waiting at a bus stop with their father when the accident occurred. The father, Asefredo Pineda, said the truck hit a van before coming at them.
Pineda said his 13-year-old daughter was injured severely and airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Oakland, where she was listed in critical condition. His 16-year-old daughter was taken to a local hospital with less severe injuries and listed in serious condition.
