Riverside County Sheriff’s Department
According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Cardoza, on Friday, April 1, 2016, at approximately 11:35 PM, officers from the Lake Elsinore Police Department were dispatched to a traffic collision in the parking lot of a shopping center in the 16700 block of Lakeshore Drive.
Officers arrived within minutes of the call, and subsequent investigation revealed that the driver of a Ford S.U.V. collided with a support beam attached to the roof overhang in front of a restaurant closed for the evening. The collision caused the support beam to be pushed back several feet. Alcohol appeared to be a factor in the traffic collision.
Nicolas Joseph Gonzales, 24-years old, and a resident of the City of Lake Elsinore, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and was transported to the Southwest Detention Center.
Anyone having further knowledge or information pertaining to this case is encouraged to contact Officer Talbott at the Lake Elsinore Police Department at 951-245-3300, or after hours at (951) 776-1099.
