Long Beach police are asking for the public’s help finding a car connected to a hit-and-run crash that left a cyclist seriously injured last month.
The man was taking part in a group bike ride the night of Jan. 25 and traveling westbound on Fourth Street when the driver of a silver Nissan sedan with chrome rims going southbound on Atlantic Avenue hit him, according to the Long Beach Police Department. The driver of the sedan didn’t stop and left the scene, police said.
