On Thursday, February 25, 2016, at approximately 5:35 p.m., the Sacramento Police Department responded Fruitridge Road and Florin-Perkins Road regarding a hit-and-run vehicle collision involving a bicyclist.

When officers arrived on scene, they located a 26-year-old, male bicyclist who had sustained life-threatening injuries.  The Sacramento Fire Department transported the victim to an area hospital where he remains in critical condition.

Due to the severity of the victims’ injuries, the Sacramento Police Department’s Major Collision Investigation Unit responded to the scene.
