A heartbroken husband may have hunted down the 85-year-old hit and run driver who killed the mom of his eight kids.
Rod Richardson found the car that police believe fatally struck his wife Brenda while driving around the area a few days after the accident, leading to the arrest of driver Tashiro Isa, KNBC reported.
Brenda was riding her motorcycle in California Wednesday, when she was hit by a white Lexus and thrown 30 feet, Corona police said.
She was taken to the hospital, but died the next day due to her injuries.
The driver that fatally struck Brenda fled the scene, police said.
Overwhelmed with grief, Richardson wanted to search for the vehicle that killed the mother of his eight kids.
“When you have your older kids falling on the ground crying cause they have no control,” he told KNBC.
“Your younger kids waking you up in the middle of the night saying they missed her, it’s a lot.”
As was driving around, Richardson told KNBC he had a feeling to investigate near an apartment complex in the area.
Behind a gate of the complex, Richardson found the vehicle police believe is responsible in the accident that killed his wife.
“My heart dropped when I looked over,” he told KNBC of the heartbreaking moment he saw the car.
Pictures show the vehicle with extensive damage on the passenger side, with scrapes and dents all along the door and one side view mirror missing.
Shortly after Richardson found the car, police announced they had arrested a suspect in the hit-and run, KNBC reported.
Tashiro Isa, 85, was identified as the driver of the car, police said in a statement.
Isa was arrested in relation to charges including felony hit and run and vehicular manslaughter.
