The Long Beach Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a driver who struck and seriously injured a bicyclist last month.
The collision, which occurred at about 9:50 p.m. on Jan. 25, left the cyclist “lying halfway on the sidewalk” near the the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 4th Street, the LBPD said in a news release.
That cyclist, only identified as a man who had been participating in a group ride headed west on 4th Street, was taken to a local hospital with “serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. ”
The driver of the car, a silver Nissan sedan with chrome rims, continued heading south on Atlantic and fled the scene after striking the biker, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Joseph Johnson at 562-570-7355.
To report information anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visiting LACrimeStoppers.org.
