He allegedly killed unrestrained 9-year-old girl in Concord crash, then ran away. But residents of a nearby encampment were watching

CONCORD — After an Oregon resident allegedly flipped over a Mazda, killing a 9-year-old girl and injuring himself and four other occupants, he ran from the scene and disappeared for several days, according to authorities.

Dorantes-Guzman allegedly crashed the Mazda around 5:20 a.m. on April 7, near the Interstate 680 and Highway 242 interchange in Concord. Everyone in the vehicle was injured, and 9-year-old Danna Hernandez Tapia, a Tualatin, Oregon resident, was killed. Two of the passengers identified the driver as “Jesus Ivan” without providing a last name, while others wouldn’t tell police who was driving, authorities said.

Just a few years from the crash site was a small cropping of tents, and many of the people living inside rushed to the crash to help. They would later recall to police how Dorantes-Guzman crawled out from under a car, shoved one of the injured passengers out of his way, and ran towards Concord Avenue while everyone else stayed at the scene, authorities said.

One of the unhoused men who came to help the victims — who police say was the first eyewitness at the scene — reported seeing Dorantes-Guzman unzip his pants, urinate on the vehicle, then run away, authorities said.
