A Tesla driver speeding along a San Diego County freeway purposely rammed a motorcyclist, killing him, prosecutors say. The motorist has pleaded not guilty to murder.
Ulysses Jiminez, 22, faces the murder charge as well as six counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of hit and run with death or permanent serious injury. He was arraigned Monday and pleaded not guilty to all charges at Superior Court in Chula Vista, said Tanya Sierra, a spokesperson for the San Diego County district attorney.
The complaint alleges that Jiminez intentionally hit Jorge Uribe, 53, who was riding his motorcycle in the carpool lane on Interstate 805 in Chula Vista, and then fled the scene.

On June 30, the California Highway Patrol received a report of a crash on the 805 Freeway north of Telegraph Canyon Road, the agency said in a statement.
Jiminez, of San Diego, was driving a 2023 red Tesla Model Y southbound at high speed in the HOV lane and “intentionally drove into the rear of a 2025 gray BMW motorcycle,” the CHP said.
