Bedford Police Seeking Driver in Hit-And-Run Crash That Injured Cyclist

BEDFORD — Police Chief Robert Bongiorno and Fire Chief David Grunes report that a cyclist was injured following a hit-and-run crash with a vehicle late Tuesday afternoon.

Shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 20, a cyclist traveling on Carlisle Road (Route 225) was struck by a silver hatchback vehicle at the bridge crossing the Carlisle town line. The cyclist, a 63-year-old male from Carlisle, suffered serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital by the Bedford Fire Department.

The Bedford Police Department is actively seeking the vehicle involved, which is believed to be a silver or gray hatchback sedan—possibly a Honda Civic—with a material resembling bedding or sheets covering the rear window.

“I encourage anyone who may have information about this vehicle to come forward,” Chief Bongiorno said. “Leaving the scene of a crash is a serious matter, and we are actively investigating.”

Anyone with information related to this crash is asked to call the Bedford Police Department at 781-275-1212
