    (Long Beach, CA) Enrique Barajas was riding his bike in Long Beach around 12:15 p.m. on Monday, January 20, when he was struck and killed by a motorist.

    Detectives reported that Barajas was riding north on Atlantic Avenue. He then merged from the bike lane into the number one lane, and shortly after, a white SUV heading in the same direction sideswiped Barajas and continued down the road.

    Barajas was rushed to a hospital in critical condition. He sadly succumbed to his injuries the next day.

    Police are still searching for the hit-and-run driver responsible for striking Barajas. They ask anyone with information to call Long Beach Police Department’s Detective Johnson at 562-570-7355. Further, tipsters who would like to maintain anonymity can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

    Liability in a Long Beach Car Accident

    California Vehicle Code 20002 states that one is guilty of misdemeanor hit-and-run if they left an accident scene, failed to identify themselves to the others involved in the accident, and damage occurred to someone else’s property.

    A misdemeanor hit-and-run carries a maximum penalty of no more than six months in the county jail and a fine starting at $1,000 dollars. It also requires victim restitution and will result in points on one’s driving record.

    A hit-and-run that results in injury or death is a felony, in accordance with California Vehicle Code 20003.

    A felony hit-and-run that results in a non-serious injury can carry a penalty of up to 1 year in jail or prison. If the accident resulted in serious injury or death, a suspect could get 2 to 4 years in prison, and a fine ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Like a misdemeanor hit-and-run, it also requires victim restitution and will result in points on one’s driving record.
