Stockton, CA (July 23, 2025) – A hit-and-run collision on Wednesday morning left a bicyclist injured on northbound Highway 99, near the Eight Mile Rd offramp, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
The crash, which occurred around 7:44 a.m., involved a dark gray Honda Civic sedan striking the cyclist while they were riding in the designated bike lane. The driver of the Honda fled the scene immediately after the collision, and authorities have since launched a search for the suspect vehicle.
Emergency responders from the Waterloo Morada Fire Department, alongside CHP officers, arrived at the scene to treat the injured cyclist. While the severity of the injuries has not been disclosed, the victim was treated at the scene, and it remains unclear whether they were transported to the hospital.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and no further updates regarding the suspect or the vehicle have been made available.
We extend our thoughts to the injured bicyclist and hope for a full recovery.
