A man suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol reportedly fled the scene of a collision after injuring another driver, but returned to the scene and was arrested.
On Monday (April 15) at 3:40 p.m., Sheriff’s Deputies report that a Ford traveling west on Antelope Trail in Yucca Valley collided with a Toyota traveling north on Barberry Ave. The driver of the Toyota was injured, and taken to Hi-Desert Medical Center for treatment.
Deputies say the driver of the Ford, identified as Steve Brough, 54, fled the scene of the collision. As the investigation into the collision continued, deputies say that Brough returned to the scene of the collision several hours later, and appeared to be intoxicated. Deputies say that tests done at the Morongo Basin Jail confirmed that Brough had been drinking alcohol.
Steve Brough was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol causing bodily injury and booked into the West Valley Detention Center on $250,000 bail.
