Just got off the phone with William Dean Dinoso, who, while riding bikes with his wife and two small children was hit by a fleeing SUV Sunday afternoon in Rialto.

As one would imagine, Dinoso was distraught and scattered.

He said, "It's all new, I don't even know what to do right now. I'm trying to come to grips with the fact that my little girl is gone."

Dinoso's 1-year-old daughter was killed, and his wife and son remain hospitalized.

Asked about his injuries and his discharge from the hospital yesterday, Dinoso said, "I did what I had to do to get discharged to see my girl and my son. They're going to be okay, I hope. My boy has a head injury; they're doing a surgery on his head today."

Asked if boy make full recovery, Dinoso said, "They're doing surgery on his head, that's all I can say."

Asked about his own injuries, he said, "My heart is really broken right now, it's my heart. I don't know what else is hurting on my body, but my head is going crazy right now."

Dinoso said he had to go.

"I'm sorry, I can't really talk right now. I have to go to the hospital. I have to go now."
