Always horrible to hear about stories like this. Two friends of mine were hit in Norwalk a few years back. Both taken to the hospital. One was released that night and the other a few weeks later. The day after it happened we met up with the one that was released that night, to go check out the scene and gather parts/etc left behind.

He was a police dispatch for 15+ years and was talking about how he was hit, thrown over the car and mid air turned towards the car, caught the make/model/estimated year and partial plate number before hitting the ground.

While we were there I have my buddies shoes, and pieces of the car that had shattered during impact, headlight/turn signal. Just then we look across the street to see a matching car, with blue tape around the windshield, and a broken signal across the street. Immediately called the police. By the time we got thru and talked to dispatch, there were multiple cops surrounding the car. Caught the old lady that had hit them just feet from where it happened.

Wild how it works out. I wish Damian the best.

I will be praying for your nephew. It makes me sick that someone is capable of committing this kind of act. I hope they catch the guy who did this.

my prayers for your nephew. As a fellow cyclist and one who lives in the area of the accident i am both shocked and petrified. Hope that he has a speedy recovery and that the bastard who hit him is caught and brought to justice.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your newphew!

That's just awful. I've got friends in the area and will forward this to them to keep an eye out.

I'm in the area a lot and drive everywhere with a dashcam. Wishing your nephew well.

Update:

Channel 7 News is covering the story at 11:00 PM tonight. We anticipate Damian (my nephew) has had surgery almost every day. Today's surgery was to clean skin to prevent infection. Tomorrow is a replacement shoulder joint.

Thank you all for keeping your eyes open and ears to the ground. Together we will bring this person to justice.

Link to Channel 7 news story which was the lead story last night on the 11:00 news.

I doubt the driver was sober enough to even remember, nor legal enough to do anything about it.

So sorry to hear this Dad.. very sad.

[The Gleam]

Bumping to keep this in the forefront; I want to see this piece of crap caught.

KTLA Will carry the story on the 10:00 news tonight.

OMG, disgusting, they will burn in HELL for sure!!!

[Dirtbikindad393]

KTLA Link to Video The reporter kept calling it a Dodge minivan but the CHP says that witnesses called it a Toyota Sienna so it could be any of several brands but it should be gray or tan in color and an older model such as late 1990's ie: 1996-up or early 2000's.
