A man who was apparently trying to break up a fight was struck and killed by a suspected hit-and-run driver in the Central Valley over the weekend.
The incident occurred in front of the victim’s 8-year-old daughter in Visalia and police are looking for two people in connection with the crime.
The incident occurred May 27 when the victim, Eric Fisher, was doing yard work and he heard two people arguing across the street, KFSN-TV in Fresno reported.
Fisher asked the couple who were fighting to leave because he didn’t want them fighting in front of children, the station reported.
Officials said the couple got into a car, ran Fisher into a fence and dragged him about a block.
“She runs in five minutes later saying, ‘Mom, daddy is hurt,’” the victim’s wife, Alice, told KFSN. “When I come out my husband is underneath the tires and I’m pleading and yelling at her. ‘Please my husband’s underneath the tires. Please stop.’ She just kept going.”
