Hit-and-run Driver Who Struck Pedestrian in Ventura is Arrested

VENTURA, CA (August 23, 2018) – Authorities arrested a man on Wednesday that they suspect was the driver involved in a hit-and-run accident that killed a pedestrian in Ventura.

Ventura police said that Juan Caudillo Cisneros, a 65-year-old resident of Ventura, was found in Ventura by authorities at roughly 12:30 p.m. He had been driving the vehicle—described as a white four-door—that authorities suspect was involved in the incident that killed the pedestrian on August 10. The hit-and-run accident occurred close to Ventura Avenue and Prospect Street, at roughly 8:37 p.m.

People who witnessed the accident said that the pedestrian had walked in the middle of two cars that were parked, and then onto the road of Ventura Avenue on the northbound side. A vehicle then hit him. The vehicle was described as a white four-door. Police said that the car pulled over right away, but then left the accident scene.

According to police, authorities determined that Cisneros was driving the vehicle when the accident happened. Michael Pedigo was the man who was killed, police said. Responders took Pedigo to Ventura County Medical Center. He died at the hospital.

The vehicle that Cisneros was driving showed damage that was consistent with what the accident would have caused. The windshield in the front of the vehicle had also been replaced recently.

Police arrested Cisneros on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, and also on destruction of evidence.

Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have played a role in the accident, according to authorities.
