Fifth Street Hit-and-Run Crash Injures 37-Year-Old Man [San Dimas, CA]

San Dimas, CA (Dimas, CA) – On January 27, a 37-year-old male bicyclist sustained injuries in a Fifth Street hit-and-run crash.

The collision took place at about 6:30 p.m. west of Eucla Avenue.

The man was riding a bicycle when he was struck by a vehicle that continued driving.

Paramedics rushed the unidentified victim to a hospital with major injuries.

“It is believed the hit-and-run driver was driving a dark-colored Dodge Ram pickup when the vehicle collided into the cyclist,” a sheriff’s statement said.

“The driver of the truck slowed down and stopped at Eucla Avenue, then drove eastbound and out of view,” the statement said. “The driver did not stop to check on the welfare of the cyclist.”

Moreover, officers said the involved truck sustained damage to its right front headlight housing.

“Detectives are asking residents to check their surveillance video for that day and time, in an attempt to assist in the investigation,” the police statement said.

Please reach out to Detective Christopher Bronowicki of the San Dimas Traffic Detail 909-859-2818, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS for further details on this collision.
