Edgar Ivan Galindo, who is from Apple Valley, was arrested and put in jail for felony hit and run.

The District Attorney’s Office for San Bernardino County and the California Highway Patrol will work together to make sure that the right charges are brought in this case.

He can’t afford the $200,000 bond, so he is in jail. His court date is on Thursday.

Jacob Martinez and Christina Bird were hurt in an accident at Stoddard Wells.

Jacob Martinez, who was 12, and Christina Bird, who was 11, were friends. On July 2, they hit Galindo Diaz’s car, which was a terrible accident.

Two children were found lying next to each other. Jacob was pronounced dead at the scene.

Wednesday, Christina’s life support was turned off at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital. Doctors had found that she was brain dead.

Her family said their last goodbyes to her before turning off the machine that kept her alive.

Is Edgar Galindo in jail for the accident at Stoddard Wells?

Galindo Diaz, who is 35 years old, is being held in a San Bernardino County jail for the accident at Stoddard Wells.

On July 2, the two kids were riding an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on Stoddard Wells Road when they were hit by Galindo’s side-by-side vehicle.

ATVs and UTVs are both off-road vehicles, but UTVs usually have bigger, more powerful engines and can be used for both work and play.

Witnesses say they saw the car that hit them turn off its lights and then swerve away.

Since the investigation is still going on, anyone with more information about the case is asked to call the CHP Victorville station at 760-241-1186.
