Woman seriously injured in San Diego hit and run bicycle accident
Jun 17th, 2010 by RichmondJ
Walking east with her dog along a street in San Diego, on Monday morning, a 22-year-old woman unsuspectingly became victim to a hit and run bicyclist. As she advanced down the road with her dog, the bicyclist struck her from behind, dropping her to the ground. He then fled the scene of the accident.
At first, the 22-year-old believed she was uninjured. She rose from the place where she was felled by the bicyclist and continued home. Later in the day, however, she went to a hospital to receive treatment. Doctors believe the bicycle accident gave the woman a skull fracture, a brain injury causing swelling.
The woman contacted police from the hospital about her hit and run bicycle accident. There have been no reports of the hit and run bicyclist being found.
Bikers are not exempt from the laws of the road – no one is. If you or someone you know is the victim of a bicycle accident, pedestrian accident, or a hit and run, the law protects you. In any accident, the person at fault must take responsibility for the damages they cause. Worse, in a hit and run, the person at fault has committed a crime.
