cyclist killed in hit-and-run in Los Altos Hills on August 22
From my club mailing list:
Riding on Purisma Rd ... we ran into a young man named
Angus handing out flyers at the corner of Concepcion Rd in Los Altos Hills.
They had a tent and signs with a Santa Clara County Sheriff sitting with
them. To our horror there was another fatal cycling accident that happened
there on a saturday at 2 pm on August 22. Angus's good friends father was
left for dead on the road by another hit and run driver. His name was Dave
Delgado, He was 54 years old and he took up cycling to relieve his pains of
losing his wife 8 years ago. He lived in Menlo Park. He was in Coma with
massive bleeding to the brain. He was hit from behind. They took him off
life support and put him on home hospice and he passed at his home on
Thursday. He is survived by two sons. This is another tragedy that should
not have happened. The word needs to get out to help these people.
We also passed this corner (Purissima at Concepcion) on our ride yesterday.
The sheriff's dept. is looking for any information on what might have
happened, because to date no witnesses have been found or come forward. If
you have any information on this tragedy they ask you to call Deputy Mike
Betti, (408) 868-6626 or the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Substation at
(408) 868-6600.
