Isaac Solorio Beaver, 28, was arrested for driving under the influence after he fled from the scene of a DUI-related accident that occurred at 7am on Saturday morning.

The Brawley man was driving a 1996 Volvo sedan when he failed to stop at a red light and plowed through the intersection. Juan Bernal was driving his 2007 Toyota Rav4 through the intersection when he was hit by Beaver's sedan. A 12-year-old boy in the Rav4 was ejected through the vehicle and landed on the center dirt median and had to be taken to the local hospital to be treated for injuries. Bernal and two other passengers, 10 and 16 year old boys, all suffered minor to moderate injuries.

According to the Imperial Valley Press Online, Beaver ran from the scene of the accident but was later caught and arrested by highway patrol officers and is facing felony DUI charges.
