Police look for Lexus that hit bicyclist
BELLEVUE -- As Lisa Schmidt drove home from Seattle on Tuesday evening, she was stunned to notice that an injured bicyclist surrounded by good Samaritans was her husband, Edward, 54. A driver had hit him and fled.
Judging from the passenger-side mirror at the scene that was torn from the suspect vehicle, Bellevue police say they are seeking and asking body shops to be alert for a dark green 1998 to 2000 Lexus, either a model GS 300 or GS 400, with damage to the front right bumper, fender and turn signal. The accident occurred at 5:12 p.m.
Schmidt was at home Thursday recovering from a broken arm, concussion and many bruises. Police said a helmet saved his life.
Schmidt was riding home from work in Seattle, wearing reflective clothing and had a bright flashing red taillight and white headlight on his bike. The car struck him in the 5400 block of the eastbound bike lane of Forest Drive Southeast.
Witnesses saw the suspect speed east on Forest Drive toward Lakemont Boulevard Southeast. Bellevue police are taking information at 425-452-4596. Crimestoppers of Puget Sound is offering a reward for information at 1-800-CRIME13.
