Folsom Man Arrested, Suspected of Attempted Murder in Vehicular Assault on Motorcyclist
A 23-year-old Folsom man, Anders Blair Erickson, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a vehicular assault on a motorcyclist on Tuesday evening, law enforcement reported. The Folsom Police Department responded to alerts of a crash between an SUV and motorcycle at the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Iron Point Road, as mentioned in a department news release and corroborated by a news report from ABC10. Officers arrived shortly before 8 p.m. to find that the motorcyclist had incurred a broken ankle and minor injuries.
Investigative efforts led by the Folsom Police Department aimed to quickly ascertain that the SUV driver had allegedly and intentionally hit the motorcycle rider. This conclusion was shared in a social media post by the Folsom Police Department. Erickson was subsequently apprehended and is now facing a felony assault with a deadly weapon charge. The reports specified that he is ineligible for bail and is slated to appear in the Sacramento County Superior Court.
The police's account of the incident expressed gratitude toward the community members who intervened post-collision: "Thank you to the several (individuals) who stopped to help and waited for emergency crews to arrive," the department stated in the news release covered by ABC10. These civilian efforts supported the motorcyclist at the scene and provided aid pending the arrival of emergency services.
Currently held at the Sacramento County Main Jail, Erickson's arrest leads him now to the precipice of the judiciary, with his court appearance expected on Thursday afternoon. Details surrounding the motivations and conduct of the suspect remain under examination as the case evolves into the prosecutorial phase, during which additional information is likely to come forward pending legal considerations. As the case is ongoing, the Folsom Police Department has refrained from releasing further details at this time.
