Danelle Aguirre of Moreno Valley Dies in Corona Expressway Hit-and-Run Crash [Corona, CA]

Corona, CA (October 22, 2022) – On Monday, the CHP arrested Robert Griffin, 46, of Chino, in a Corona Expressway crash killing Danelle Aguirre.

According to the investigators, the fatal collision took place on August 15, at about 2:25 a.m. 

Officers say Robert Griffin was northbound on the freeway north of the Riverside Freeway, in a Lexus SC430 when he rear-ended a Dodge Ram pickup.

Allegedly, Robert Griffin plowed the truck at an unknown speed. As a result, the driver lost control of the vehicle, veered off the highway, and overturned.

The Dodge’s passenger, Danelle Aguirre, 41, of Moreno Valley, sustained fatal injuries. The driver incurred minor to moderate injuries.

Moreover, the investigators stated that Robert Griffin raced away from the crash and fled south of the border, and hid in Mexico.

The Mexican State Police turned him over to the CHP and booked him into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run resulting in death. Jail records indicate he posted a bail of $150,000 Wednesday and was released from the downtown jail.

He has no documented prior felony convictions. Though, court documents show he has been involved in an unresolved case for allegedly being an unlicensed driver of a motor vehicle in 2021.
