The Corpus Christi Police Department Traffic Safety Division is investigating a hit and run crash in which a bicyclist was struck from behind by a vehicle Saturday morning on the 3400 block of Ocean Drive.

A 60-year-old man traveled south on the bike lane of the 3400 block of Ocean Drive at about 7:00am Saturday morning. A vehicle struck the 60-year-old man from behind and then left without providing any aid or information as required by law.

The 60-year-old man was taken to the hospital by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.

Corpus Christi Police Crash Investigators collected evidence from the scene and are now searching for a silver 2012 Ford Focus with damage to the front right of the vehicle.

Anyone with any additional information about this crash, or can identify the driver, should call the Corpus Christi Police Traffic Safety Division at 886-2600. Information may be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or online at www.888TIPS.com.

Corpus Christi Police Traffic Detectives arrested 39-year-old Eric Daniel Acevedo (7/28/1973) Wednesday afternoon at his place of employment for a warrant for the arrest of Acevedo for a hit and run crash on Ayers Street on March 3, 2013.

Corpus Christi Police Commander John Houston said three detectives were assigned to work the case day and night until the suspect was apprehended. Acevedo was arrested for the charge of Accident Involving Injury or Death and the bond for Acevedo was set by the judge for $1 million dollars.

The Texas Transportation Code section 550.023 requires an operator of a vehicle to stop and render aid to an injured person when they are involved in a vehicle crash. Acevedo is accused of failing to comply with the duty to stop and render aid in relation to the crash on March 3, 2013 on the 4600 block of Ayers Street.

Although an arrest has been made in this case, Police Detectives encourage anyone with any additional information about this event to provide that information to the Corpus Christi Police Traffic Safety Section.
