You'd think in 40 minutes they'd still be around, or at least be on the lookout for this car. What else goes on in Danville, rich kids having rowdy parties?!
I can't post the release because I can't post links on here until I make 10 posts (grr). It sounds like the lesser injury was first, and no emergency response was needed for that one. Go to Bike East Bay's twitter for the full release.
Same road, in close to the same location.
Police Chief Allan Shields said the first incident occurred at approximately 1:20 p.m. Saturday afternoon. The victim reported that she was riding her bicycle westbound on Diablo Road near Alameda Diablo Road when she was struck by the vehicle, which then fled the scene. The victim suffered minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.
The second incident occurred at approximately 2:00 p.m. when two cyclists riding eastbound on Diablo Road near Clydesdale Drive were struck by a driver who fled. The two men suffered severe injuries in the crash and were hospitalized. One man was taken by CalStar helicopter to Eden Medical Center, the other transported by ambulance to John Muir Medical Center.
