Bicyclist, 12, Hit In Foster City; Driver Flees Scene: Police

FOSTER CITY, CA — Peninsula police are looking for a man who hit a child while he was riding his bike in Foster City this week, the agency says. The man apparently stopped for a moment after the collision, but then left the scene, making the incident a "hit-and-run" case, police say.

"The collision involved a 12-year-old male bicyclist and a motor vehicle," Foster City police said in a news release. "The male bicyclist was traveling south on Shell Boulevard when he was struck by a brown 4 door sedan exiting Balclutha Dr. onto Shell Blvd."

The collision caused the boy to fall off his bike. He suffered a minor injury to his ankle, police said.

"The driver exited his vehicle and spoke with the bicyclist; however he left without exchanging any information," according to police.

The driver was described as an older man with dark skin, gray hair and possibly Indian, police said. Police are seeking information that will help them in their investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Foster City police Officer Acosta at (650) 286-3300.
