A suspect in a felony hit-and-run collision last month that left a 15-year-old bicyclist injured was arrested, according to Foster City police.
At about 6:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Shell Boulevard near Bounty Drive for a report of a traffic collision involving a vehicle and an electric bicycle. Officers arrived within minutes and located a 15-year-old male who had been struck while riding an electric bicycle.
The driver involved in the collision fled the scene before officers arrived, according to police.
The juvenile was treated at the scene by firefighters and transported to the hospital. During the investigation, officers located a suspect vehicle believed to be involved in the collision parked at a nearby apartment complex. The suspect was identified and placed under arrest for the offense, though Foster City police did not provide the name, age or city of residence.

The streets of Foster City are not safe. A pedestrian died a few months ago and since then there have been several people on bikes and foot hit and injured.
Is any street, be it in Foster City or elsewhere, completely safe?
Pacman, the answer to that is called "Vision Zero".
Every single street can be made safe. It's all about speed, distractions and sightlines.
There are plenty of engineering choices professionals at city hall could make to achieve success like:
- Hoboken, New Jersey (US) has had seven or nine consecutive years without a fatal crash.
- SF achieved lower fatalities by adding bike lanes and installing speed cameras.
- NYC recently celebrated its lowest number of fatalities in decades thanks in part to bike lanes and congestion pricing.
- Helsinki, Oslo, Malmö have only a handful of fatalities each year.
Just like San Mateo County these are all "Vision Zero Cities". But unlike San Mateo County they have skillful transportation engineers and politicians that seem to care.
Let's compare that with our cities:
- San Mateo's Mayor Rob Newsom was eager to take away bike lanes from children in an Equity Focus Area
- Foster City - after month of having a one-lane and saver Beach Park Blvd - they added the drag racing lane again.
- Burlingame's city council voted against bike lanes around several schools and a hospital. And Donna Colson hangs around schools all the time.
- Redwood City: in the Jefferson Avenue project YIMBY's Chris Sturken and Stanford's Isabella Chu voted against adding real bike lanes.
In this county we are clearly lacking the skillful engineers and politicians. That's for sure.
