A cyclist was injured Monday night, when a right-turning driver slammed into him, then fled.
According to San Francisco Police Department spokesperson Officer Albie Esparza, a 38-year-old man was riding his bike south on The Embarcadero Monday at 5:30 p.m. when he was struck.
The driver of a white Toyota Camry, which had also been heading south on The Embarcadero, struck the cyclist as the driver made the right turn onto Mission Street.
The cyclist was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with a non-life-threatening shoulder injury.
Hoodline reports that the driver fled the scene following the collision, and hasn't been seen since.
Esparza says that the Camry did not have a front or rear license plate, which certainly won't make it any easier to find the driver, but let's still give it a try: As always, anyone with information on the collision is urged to contact the SFPD's Anonymous Tip Line at 415-575-4444 or to text a tip to TIP411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message.
