Hit And Run Of Cyclist In JP: State Police Release Dash Cam Video

JAMAICA PLAIN, MA — A dashcam video captured footage of a hit and run in JP Monday that sent one 20-year-old cyclist to the hospital. Now police are asking for the public's help in finding any more information about the incident.

Dashcam footage shows a red car driving up to the rotary on the J-way where Centre Street and Arborway meet. A cyclist already in the rotary on the righthand side of the rotary attempts to make its way through the circle. The footage shows the red car put on the brakes but give no indication it was turning, cutting from the left lane across to take the second exit out of the rotary, right in front of a cyclist in the process.

Without apparent time to break, the cyclist crashes into the car and lands on the road and sits up looking dazed. The driver of the car with the dashcam stops and calls out of his window to see if the biker is ok. The red car keeps going, dodging another car.

At 9:13 a.m. Monday Boston Police notified State Police of a report of a cyclist struck at Centre Street at the Arborway in Jamaica Plain. A 20-year-old Boston woman was taken to Faulkner Hospital with injuries believed to be non-life threatening.

The car that hit her was a small red four-door car, which appears to be a hatchback. Some folks say they think it is an early to mid 2000s Subaru Impreza hatchback.

Police urge anyone who recognizes the car or has information about this crash to contact the State Police-Milton Barracks at 617-698-5840
