Vista, CA (August 7, 2018) – Local authorities reported that a bicycle accident and hit-and-run incident took place in the area of University Avenue and Lobelia Drive. The incident occurred a little before 5:40 PM in the evening on Monday, August 6, 2018.

Based on initial deputy reports, an unidentified man had been riding a bicycle in the Vista area at the same time a 2010 Toyota sedan was traveling east along Lobelia Drive. At some point, the vehicle plowed into the bike before leaving the scene of the accident.
