Hit-and-run accidents are always difficult to handle for everyone involved, particularly the families of those who are wrongfully harmed. Recently, we posted about a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian in the area, and tragically, another fatal hit-and-run crash has occurred. This one took the life of a bicyclist who was hit twice and did not survive the impacts.

According to a report by KCRA:

“The California Highway Patrol is looking for a driver accused of fleeing the scene of a south Sacramento County hit-and-run crash that left a bicyclist dead.

The wreck, which was reported at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, occurred on Stockton Boulevard near Walter Avenue.

The CHP said the cyclist was struck by a red vehicle as he attempted to cross the street. The rider was thrown from his bike and dragged under the vehicle for a short time.

The red vehicle was last seen fleeing northbound on Stockton Boulevard.

The cyclist was hit a second time by a white Hyundai driven by a Sacramento resident. The Hyundai came to rest on top of the victim. Rescue workers had to lift the car off the victim’s body, the CHP said.”
