PI^A.CE OF OCCURRENCE: zSoo Block S. Higuera, San Luis Obispo
VICTIM INFORMATION: 73 and 87year-old males, residents of Avila Beach
SUSPECT INFORMATION: Unknown
DETAILS:
On Tuesday, July 25, at around 12:oopm, SLOPD responded to a local hospital after being alerted that an 87-year-

hospital via ambulance, but no call to SLOPD had been received at our Dispatch Center regarding a traffic
collision.
Investigators quickly discovered that the two men had been riding electric bicycles southbound on Higuera near the
z8oo block when an unknown vehicle sideswiped the first bike, and then hit the second. Both riders were thrown to
the ground, but thankfully were wearing helmets. A San Luis Obispo Ambulance crew happened to be in the area
and stopped to assist. The 87-year-old was quicHy loaded and transported to the hospital and is currently in
critical, but stable condition. The 73-year-old rider sustained minor to moderate injuries.
A white four door sedan was seen fleeing the scene shortly after the collision and its driver is wanted for
questioning. The San Luis Obispo Police Department is seeking any assistance from the public who might have
information regarding this incident, specifically any information related to the suspect vehicle or driver.
If you were in the area of Higuera and Fontana (z8oo block of Higuera) at around 12:oo pm and have information,
please contact SLOPD at 8oS-78r-TgL2 and reference case number z4o7z9o46.
