Angel Gongora-Mis
A Half Moon Bay man who collided with and killed a bicyclist on Highway 1 last spring pleaded no contest Tuesday to felony hit-and-run where great bodily injury or death occurred, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Angel Gongora-Mis, 30, will face up to one year in county jail when he returns to court for sentencing Nov. 8. He remains out of custody on a $60,000 bail bond, according to prosecutors.
On April 29, 2017, sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported collision involving a 44-year-old bicyclist on a stretch of Highway 1 in Half Moon Bay at around 7:30 a.m. Edward Wade, a Half Moon Bay resident, was identified as the bicyclist and pronounced dead at the scene, which was near the intersection of Highway 1 and Furtado Lane in Miramar, according to prosecutors.
Gongora-Mis was allegedly found about a mile away with the bicycle trapped under his vehicle. Though he allegedly admitted to a collision, he told deputies he thought he hit a guardrail and continued until he pulled over to investigate a noise his car was making, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved in the collision, for which there are no witnesses. A lengthy investigation by the California Highway Patrol delayed the filing of charges for some nine months, according to prosecutors.
Gongora-Mis’ defense attorney Maria Fonseca could not be immediately reached for comment.
