On 03/13/10 at approximately 0105 hours CSPD Sergeant Philip LeBeau was riding a Honda Police Motorcycle southbound on Tejon at Vermijo when a red KIA Optima driven by Raymond Laracuente (27 YOA) turned left in front of him. Sgt. LeBeauâ??s motorcycle struck the right side of the car and he was launched over the vehicle, landing approximately 45 feet from the point of impact. Sgt. LeBeau was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Mr. Laracuente was arrested on charges of Vehicular Assault and DUI. Alcohol does appear to be a factor in the accident. None of the occupants of the KIA were injured.
