A truck driver accused of fleeing the scene after a deadly crash on Interstate 80 near Auburn has been arrested, the California Highway Patrol said.
CHP said 60-year-old Robert Bell of Stockton was arrested June 18 in Martinez.
The crash happened on the night of May 26 along I-80, just northeast of Auburn near Clipper Gap.
Investigators said a big rig traveling westbound was hauling a tank full of water when the driver lost control and crashed into the center divider. The crash caused the tank trailer to separate from the truck and cross into the eastbound lanes, where it collided with a Ford F-150.
The driver of the Ford died in the crash. He was previously identified as 57-year-old Colfax resident Michael Fiscus.
Investigators said Bell fled the scene on foot after the crash.
"This arrest represents the tireless dedication of our investigators and allied law enforcement partners to seek justice for the victim and their family," said Capt. Andy Beasley, commander of the CHP Auburn Area division, in a statement.
