February 3, 2009

Authorities are searching for the identity of a bicyclist hit by a pickup truck driven by a Molino resident.

The accident happened at 7:24 Monday night on Highway 29 just north of Texar Drive in Pensacola. The Florida Highway Patrol says a 1995 Chevrolet pickup driven by Tiffany L. Chance, 18, of Molino stuck a Hispanic male on a bicycle.

The bicyclist was taken to Baptist Hospital in critical condition. The FHP was unable to determine his identity.

Troopers say Chance was northbound on Highway 29 when the bicyclist pulled into her path.  The front of Chance’s pickup struck the side of the bicycle, according to the FHP report.

The FHP is asking that anyone that might know the identity of the bicyclist call Trooper R. Streeter at 484-5000 ext. 346. The bicyclist was described as a Hispanic male, about 25 to 40 years old. He was riding a blue and silver “Next” brand bicycle with a metal basket on the handle bars. Troopers say the bicyclist was under the influence of alcohol.
