By Bay City News Service:

A Redwood City man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he allegedly struck two people in San Carlos who were attempting to fix their broken down car and then fled the scene, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.

Isaias Boror, 25, allegedly struck a broken-down blue Honda Accord from behind on southbound El Camino Real and Brittan Avenue around 10:49 p.m. Monday as it was stopped in a lane of traffic, sheriff’s officials said.

The vehicle’s occupants, who had been standing in front of the car trying to fix it, were both knocked to the ground by the impact. Boror then allegedly fled south on El Camino Real in his black Honda Accord.

The vehicle was located in the 1400 block of St. Francis Way and Boror himself was found hiding in the bushes along El Camino Real and Edgewood Road, officials said.

He was taken into custody and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence with injury, felony hit-and-run and misdemeanor driving without a license.

The victims, a 35-year-old Mountain View man and a 27-year-old East Palo Alto man, were taken to the hospital with complaints of pain and lacerations, but are expected to survive.
