Once again, someone riding a bicycle has been murdered by a heartless hit-and-run driver.
And once again, police were in no hurry to tell us about it.
According to My News LA, police found the victim lying in the roadway at Monterey Avenue and Eleanor Street in Pomona around 1:10 am on Monday, June 30th — over one week ago.
He was taken to a hospital suffering from serious injuries, but died shortly later. He has not been publicly identified.
Police are looking for the driver of a gray four-door sedan, possibly a Nissan Altima or similar make and model.
There’s no word on the how the crash occurred, or any description of the driver at this time. However, there are sharrows in both direction on Monterey, which may have contributed to the crash.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Pomona Police Department at 909/620-2156.
This is at least the 23rd bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the seventh that I’m aware of in Los Angeles County. This was also at least the seventh SoCal bike rider killed by hit-and-run drivers since the first of the year.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the victim and his loved ones.
