Do You Have Info on Desert Hot Springs Hit-and-Run?

A Desert Hot Springs man was struck and killed in a hit-and-run Sunday morning on Indian Canyon Drive. Richard Helton’s body was found by a passerby several yards away from his Ford F350 around 7:30 a.m. Police responded to the scene and closed Indian Canyon between Dillon and Pierson Boulevard. California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers say the 63-year-old could have been struck any time between Saturday night and when he was found Sunday morning.

According to a witness, a gray Nissan with a smashed windshield and front side damage was parked on Indian Canyon. It is being considered a vehicle of interest. CHP officers say Helton might have been seeking help after his vehicle broke down when he was struck.

Indian Canyon was closed until roughly 11:30 a.m. The hit-and-run investigation is ongoing.

“Our hearts break for yet another hit-and-run victim. If you have any information that would help police find the suspect, please contact the CHP,” said Attorney Walter Clark, founder of Walter Clark Legal Group.
