Hit and Run Driver Arrested After Causing San Diego Bicyle Accident

On the morning of February 7, a 19-year-old woman committed a "hit and run" car accident when her vehicle caused a Mira Mesa bicycle accident near the intersection of Calle Cristobal and Camino Miranda. The bicycle rider, a 51-year-old man, suffered serious injuries to his head, back, and sides.

The woman driver fled the scene of the accident but then returned 30 minutes later. At that time, San Diego Police officers arrested her. At this time, it does not appear that alcohol was involved in causing the hit-and-run car accident.

It's always an awful thing when someone injures another human being. Nobody likes it. Nobody is proud of it. It's one of the worst experiences imaginable. However, when people are so irresponsible that they leave the scene of an accident they caused, they are making the situation infinitely worse. Not only could the victim be critically injured, he could be dying. Worse yet, the police could arrest you for being a hit-and-run driver.

We hope that the bicycle rider heals from his injuries and that the driver is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
