A bicyclist was critically injured in a San Francisco car accident, which police report, was caused by a hit-and-run driver. According to a news article in the San Francisco Chronicle, the serious injury bicycle accident occurred at the intersection of 25th Street and Bartlett Street in San Francisco, the early morning of December 25, 2010. Police say a gray, gold or tan sedan left the scene of an accident after striking a bicyclist. The injured victim of this car accident suffered major injuries. Police are looking for information regarding the driver and the vehicle involved in this accident. Anyone who can provide more details is asked to call police at 415-575-4444 or anonymously text the police at TIP411 with "SFPD" in the message field.

My thoughts and prayers are with the bicyclist injured in this hit-and-run car accident. I wish the victim a complete and speedy recovery.

San Francisco Accident Statistics

According to California Highway Patrol’s 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), three people were killed and 471 were injured in San Francisco bicycle accidents. Also, 35 fatalities and 3,577 injuries were reported in the city as a result of all car accidents during the same year.

Leaving the Scene of a Car Accident

California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident." Leaving the scene of an injury car accident is not only a serious crime, but also a morally reprehensible act, which shows an appalling disregard for the safety of a fellow human being. In this case, the cyclist was not only hit and critically injured, but left lying on the roadway without care or medical attention.

I truly hope that the hit-and-run driver in this case is soon apprehended and brought to justice. If you have any information about this accident, please visit our web site, www.hitandrunreward.com.

Liability Issues

In such cases, injured victims would be well-advised to contact an experienced San Francisco personal injury lawyer, who will stay on top of the official investigation and make sure that the victim's legal rights and best interests are protected. A knowledgeable car accident lawyer should also advise victims about how their own car insurance policy might apply to a hit-and-run car accident where the driver is never found, or, in an incident where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.
