Search for Escondido Hit and Run Driver

A driver in Escondido pulled a Chris Thompson on Wednesday morning, veering into the bike lane directly in front of two teenage bicyclists on Bear Valley Parkway. Both riders fell in their attempt to avoid the rear of the driver’s SUV. The driver then reportedly leaned from her window and asked the boys if they were okay, but drove off after they responded that one of them was bleeding.

Both boys sustained multiple abrasions, one had cuts to his leg, arm, and shoulder, and the other may have a broken nose.  The SUV was tan-colored and the driver was described as a Latina with shoulder length hair, acne scars, and a “Spanish” accent. Anyone with information about the incident, the vehicle, or the driver should call CHP Officer Mike Bush at (760) 757-1675.
