RIVERSIDE, California ? Kenneth Pentoney II, 22, of Riverside was killed early Wednesday morning after he lost control of his pick-up truck and struck two utility poles at 6078 Jurupa Avenue, according to a Riverside County Sheriff Coroner?s report.
The single-vehicle crash took place at midnight in front of a residential home and across the street from Cornerstone Auto Body between Fremont and Essex streets, according to the report. Pentoney died a few minutes later at 12:10 a.m. on the scene of the Riverside crash where police say he was partially ejected.
Police investigate every car accident involving a death to determine the cause of a crash, said Attorney West Seegmiller. The investigation will seek to find out if there were other factors involved such as distractions, hit and run drivers, obstacles or automotive defects. Also, police are seeking to find out if there are circumstances that may have led to the crash that were illegal or reckless.
