Reply With Quotewitnesses described the U-Haul driver as dark-skinned, in his mid-30s with a goatee. And they don't know his name because the CHP hasn't figured out that boats are registered vehicles too.

A Freak Accident Kills Biker
Truck driver is sought after boat gets free and strikes motorcyclist on Costa Mesa Freeway.
From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
August 12, 2003
A motorcyclist was killed Monday when a boat being towed on the Costa Mesa Freeway broke loose and struck him, officials said.
Authorities are seeking the truck driver, who fled the scene.
Mark Stephen Burris, 34, of Huntington Beach was pronounced dead at the scene about 8:40 a.m. in Tustin just south of the Santa Ana Freeway.
The boat first hit a car driven by a 31-year-old Irvine woman, then struck the motorcyclist. The woman was not injured.
"The U-Haul driver got out, went back and looked," said Officer Katrina Lundgren, a spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol. "He was very hysterical, screaming and crying. Then he reentered the U-Haul truck and left the scene," abandoning the boat and its trailer.
Lundgren said witnesses described the U-Haul driver as dark-skinned, in his mid-30s with a goatee.

read in the paper this asshole turned himself in.The boat was bought 10 days ago and the title hadnt been changed yet to the new owners name.Chp investigators were close to id'ng this guy
Nice that they called this guy a"truck driver"when he was driving a U-haul.Looks like the media strikes again against the hated truck drivers......This will no doubt be considered a"truck related accident"in the statistics.
