Update: Cathedral City PD find truck involved in deadly hit-and-run, still searching for suspect

Cathedral City Police are still working to identify the driver of a truck they say fled after hitting a motorcycle, killing the operator, and severely hurting the passenger in mid-May. Investigators now say they've found the truck involved.

News Channel 3 has confirmed with the Coroner's office that the man who was killed has been identified as Enrique Fernandez, 41, of Indio. The passenger is "currently in rehab" recovering from broken bones and "other severe injuries," Sgt. Jeffrey Barnett tells News Channel 3.

Early Wednesday, police officials shared new description information about the truck involved in an effort to locate it. Just hours after News Channel 3 alerted viewers to this search, police confirmed to News Channel 3 that the vehicle has been found. No suspect has yet been apprehended, officials say.

On Wednesday morning, investigators shared identifying information, including releasing the California license plate number of the truck: 61166K3. It's described as a dark blue 2021 Nissan Titan Crew Cab.

Investigators say the pick-up truck and motorcycle were traveling in opposite directions on Ramon Road at about 1:20 a.m. on May 15. The truck driver turned in front of the motorcycle and "onto Crossley and crashed into the motorcycle. Evidence was left behind allowing Officers to identify the vehicle."

The truck then drove off. Investigators say it was "last seen driving westbound on Ramon Road."

Both the driver and passenger of the motorcycle were found in the roadway and were taken to Desert Regional Medical Center. The driver, a man, was pronounced dead there. The female passenger "was last listed as being in stable but critical condition," police told News Channel 3.

Anyone with information about the crash was urged to contact the Cathedral City Police Department at 760-770-0300.
