Police are investigating a hit-run crash that injured a scooter rider. It happened on Delridge Way near Sylvan Way a short time ago, and the 53-year-old scooter rider is being treated by SFD. The hit-run driver is described as an Asian man in his 50s or 60s driving a gold Toyota Camry or Corolla that would have damage on the driver-side front end, last seen southbound on Delridge. Call 911 with any information.
It was me. My name is Matthew and the hit and run occurred at the Delridge and Sylvan Way SW – “STOP” – sign, N corner of SPD, Home Depot and the AM/PM. The car breezed thru without stopping while I was half thru. Luckily the car only clipped my tail end instead of square on. The impact sent me crashing onto Delridge, skidding 3 or 4’ onto my right side breaking my collarbone with some road rash. Fortunately my helmet took the brunt so I never lost consciousness. Some witnesses like the kind tow-truck driver who came back, and a woman in the car behind the car (who shouted at the diver to stop and exchange info) seemed the only witnesses … the offending car paused, pulled up into the bike lanes 10 yards away or so then sped off while I was still trying to come to my senses. None of us got a picture or record of the plate number. I am a bartender by trade so I am unable to work for at least 1 month (or 2+ if surgery is required) on top of the AMR and ER bills soon to be coming in and of course the cost for my scooter.I am not confident in any cameras available to help my case but I would love if any other eye-witnesses could help with any information.Please contact the West Precinct, case number #24-236847Thank you I appreciate your help!
