SUNNYVALE (CBS SF) — A 34-year-old Sunnyvale man picked up food for his bible study group and was on his way to the gathering when police say he intentionally veered his car into eight pedestrians on a Sunnyvale street, authorities said Thursday. Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Chief Phan S. Ngo said investigators have yet to uncover a motive or explanation for Isaiah J. Peoples’ decision on Tuesday night. “We still do not know what his motives were,” Ngo told reporters. “The only thing we can confirm at this time is that on the day of the incident he had picked up some food and was on his way to deliver his food to his bible study group.” Officers responded to a call of a crash around 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of El Camino Real and Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd. and upon arrival discovered several injured pedestrians and Peoples’ car slammed into a tree.
While family members have revealed that Peoples suffered from mental illness, Ngo said there were no outward signs of trouble that police were aware of before the crash. Peoples served in the Army from 2004-2006 and was honorably discharged. He was also in the Army Reserve from 2006-2008. “He has no criminal history and has been working as a department of defense contractor as a finance auditor,” Ngo said. “The only contact that he had with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety was when he reported a lost item in February of 2018.” Investigators also have located two Facebook accounts he had maintained and searched them for clues. They will also search through the hard drive of his personal computer. “There is nothing of significance in his Facebook accounts,” Ngo said.
