ASSIGNMENT:
2026 MAR 25 AMIO: 51
On 12/06/25 I was assigned to patrol for the Rialto Police Department. I was driving a marked black and white police vehicle and wearing my department issued uniform. At approximately 1748 I was dispatched to the intersection of W. Casa Grande Dr. and Locust St. in reference to a traffic 5 collision. I arrived at the incident location shortly after and began my investigation.
All times, speeds and measurements that may be found within this investigation are approximate using Google maps.
NOTIFICATION:
I contacted OMNI Trans headquarters and informed them of the incident. OMNI Trans advised 13 they would contact the bus driver and have them return to headquarters. I contacted OMNI Trans 14 manager Jonathan Cryer at headquarters and he provided me the bus driver's information and 15 bus number. I was able to take photographs of the bus and damage on the bus as a result of the 16 collision.

27 28 STATEMENT (QUINTANA, CHRISTOPHER)
29 30 Quintana advised he was driving southbound on Locust Ave. and observed a bus conducted a left hand turn in front of him. Quintana attempted to swerve around the bus to avoid being hit but was 32 unable to and was side swiped by the bus as a result. Quintana appeared to be driving the speed limit and advised he made an evasive turn at the last second to attempt to go around the bus to 34 avoid contact but was unsuccessful.
35 Quintana did not advised the speed he was traveling and did not recall his speed.

40 Quintana was critically injured due to the collision and was provided medical attention from Rialto 41 Fire Department at the scene of the collision. Quintana was immediafely transported to the 42 hospital to receive further medical attention. Quintana's right knee was nearly severed. Quintana 43 received immediate medication and medical attention and I was unable to obtain further 44 information about the crash.
45 46 WITNESS (COLLINS, BRANDEN)
47 48 Collins advised he called 911 after observing a motorcycle driving southbound on Locust Ave. 49 Collins was stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of Locust Ave. and W. Casa Grande. 50 Collins advised the driver of the motor cycle appeared to be struck by a purple and blue full size 51 passenger transport city bus. Collins advised he did not see the actual contact between the 52 motorcycle and bus because he was looking down at his phone. Collins heard the impact and 53 then looked up. Collins saw Quintana appeared to be seriously injured and called 911 after 54 observing the bus leaving the area.
55 56
57 VIDEO SURVEILLANCE:
58 59 I observed video surveillance of the collision while at OMNI headquarters in San Bernardino. The 60 video showed V1, driven by Quentyka Macklin, driving northbound on Locust Ave. I observed 61 Quintana driving V2 southbound on Locust Ave. in the video. Macklin conducted a lefthand turn in 62 front of Quintana, who appeared to have the right of way. As a result, a collision occurred between 63 V1 and V2 near the right rear of V1. Macklin did not appear to be aware she collided with V2 and 64 continued to drive her bus route. It appeared both the OMIN bus and motorcycle had their 65 headlights on and working properly.
66 67 The video was uploaded to evidence.com and a physical copy of the video was obtained on a CD 68 and booked into Rialto Police Department Property.
69 70 STATEMENT (MACKLIN, QUENTYKA):
71 72 Macklin stated she was driving northbound on Locust Ave. and conducted a left hand turn to go 73 westbound on W. Casa Grande Dr. Macklin did not observe any vehicle or motorcycle drive 74 southbound on Locust St. approaching W. Casa Grande Dr. As Macklin conducted the turn, she 75 heard a noise but believed the transit bus swayed from the turn. Macklin advised she believed the 76 bottom of the bus scraped the ground. Macklin advised it was common for OMNI buses to scrap 77 the ground when driving on uneven pavement or driving over dips. Macklin looked in the right rear
