VISTA
A little more than a year after a hit-and-run crash nearly killed the owner of an Escondido cafe featured on the Food Network series “Restaurant: Impossible,” Vista sheriff’s deputies have arrested the suspected driver.
Rene Solorio, 35, remained jailed in lieu of $200,000 bail Monday, a week after his arrest in connection with the December 2019 crash that left Kaitlyn Rose Pilsbury in a coma.
Pilsbury, 34, was the owner of Rosie’s Cafe, which has since permanently closed after the one-two punch of the crash and the restaurant shutdowns ordered the following year to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Sheriff’s officials announced Solorio’s arrest Monday he was taken into custody on a warrant Jan. 4 but did not say what led them to suspect he was the driver.
