ENSENADA.- Por intentar darse a la fuga y abrirse paso con la ayuda de una sirena para emergencias (color ámbar) fueron detenidos dos sujetos a bordo de un Jeep Liberty la noche de anteayer, los cuales resultaron ser trabajadores de Sal Fish, organizador de las carreras fuera de camino Baja 1000 y propietario del vehículo utilizado para abrirse paso entre los moradores.

Fue a eso de las 19:10 horas cuando los agentes municipales vieron circular a bordo de la camioneta de Score International a dos sujetos sobre las calles Primera, entre Ruiz y Gastélum, los cuales llevaban una torreta de color ámbar, sin embargo, como este dispositivo es sólo para carros en emergencia los tripulantes no pudieron comprobar la legal posesión del dispositivo.

La Jeep Liberty, color blanco, modelo 2006, placas AKC-2463, en un momento dado encendió luces de leds de colores rojas y azules, de las utilizadas para vehículos oficiales de emergencia, las cuales traía puestas en la parte frontal, con las que le indicó a otro vehículo que se moviera, por lo que de inmediato fue intervenido el conductor, quien dijo llamarse Eduardo Torres Negrete de 20 años de edad, así como José de 17 años y Alexandre de 17 años.




ENSENADA - For trying to flee and open up the way with the help of an emergency siren (amber color) two subjects aboard a Jeep Liberty were detained last night. Both of the men were employees of Sal Fish, organizer of the Baja 1000 off road races and owner of the vehicle that was used to open the way through other motorists.

This occurred at 7:10PM when municipal police agents saw two subjects driving on calle Primera between Ruiz and Gastélum in the Score International SUV with an amber light beacon. However, this device is only for emergency vehicles and the occupants could not prove they had legal possession of the device.

The white 2006 Jeep Liberty, AKC-2463 license plates, lit up for a moment red and blue LED lights, which are used for official emergency vehicles, which were located on the front of the vehicle to indicate to other vehicles to move over out of the way. The driver was immediately detained, and said his name was Eduardo Torres Negrete, 20-years old, also detained were Jose, 17-years old and Alexandre, 17-years old.

WOW....this is a big deal for Ensenada. It looks like the cop in the white jacket peed his pants and it ran down his leg.

Interesting report anyway. One sentence says they saw two subjects in the car, but detained three.

It is good to see the policia is vigilant and keeping us tourists safe from the narcos, etc.

I thought all of the SCORE vehicles were registered in CA and unless AKC-2463 is a personal license plate it's not a CA number. A normal CA number would be #LLL###.

This article doesn't say that this vehicle belonged to Sal Fish. Just that the two detained were (past tense) employed by Sal Fish. :!:

Ask your wife for help with your Spanish reading comprehension. And the article does not use the past tense on their employment status.

Feliz Navidades, Amigo!

They probably learned their lesson. It was a tough day in Baja for these two (or three).

James "Bubba" Stewart, the motocross and supercross phenom, was arrested and convicted of the same thing in Florida several months ago. Used the lights on REAL cops. Didn't go well!!!

Back in the 50's my buddy had an old (1946?) Cadilac ambulance he had bought that still had operating red lights and siren. We used to load it up with beer and girls, turn them on (siren/lights) and cruise from SD to Longbeach on Pacific Coast Highway in just over an hour. Never stopped by any police.

Imagine anyone able to get in trouble between Papa's and Beers and Hussong's!!:saint:

Bajabass...the story isn't up at that link any more, but I found this description of Bubba's abject stupidity, and video of the fine truck the authorities may have the option to auction.

I hope they do! Though considering how much money the very talented young man makes, 'tis but a slap on the hand. Waiting for video of him in an orange jump suit that is sure to come.

He signed to ride for Joe Gibbs Racing MX. I think it's a three year deal and will be riding Yamahas.

bajabass - 12-18-2011 at 11:33 AM

If he can keep his mind on the track, he will do well. Mr. Gibbs won't put up with any shenanigans. He's known to run a tight ship!
