Reckless Driving, Hit & Run Suspect Arrested

Fillmore Patrol Deputies arrested a suspect who fled from the scene of an accident after crashing
his vehicle into a business.

On the early morning of April 15th, 2023, a patrol deputy observed a vehicle driving in a reckless
manner in the city of Fillmore. The patrol deputy attempted to catch up to the vehicle to conduct
a traffic stop and observed the vehicle lose control and crash into the side of a business in the
1300 block of Ventura Street. The collision caused several thousands of dollars of damage to
the business and city property. As the deputy was driving up to the scene of the collision, the
male driver fled the scene on foot. Deputies searched the area but were unable to locate the
suspect.

Multiple residents in the nearby area provided surveillance video to the Sheriff’s Office from their
homes, capturing the suspect fleeing on foot from the traffic collision. The surveillance video,
along with other evidence collected at the scene, was used to positively identify the hit-and-run
suspect as Fillmore resident, Reynaldo Estrada, who is currently on California State Parole
for 28002(a)-Reckless Evading in a Vehicle.

On the afternoon of April 15th, 2023, deputies located Estrada at a residence in the 700
block of Fourth Street. Estrada was arrested for a parole violation, hit and run driving, reckless driving, and resisting/delaying a peace Officer. Estrada was booked at the Pre-Trail Detention Facility in Ventura. Estrada remains in jail awaiting his court appearance without bail.
