GAP Trail Hit and Run

Need help finding witnesses to GAP trail hit and run accident. A cyclist swerved into another cyclist causing him to fall over his handlebars, onto his back. He has multiple injuries and is still in hospital. Occurred Sun July 5th approx 10am near McKeesport bridge tunnel. Cyclist who caused accident fled scene. He was described as a short white male. Any information appreciated. If you were on the GAP trail in that area yesterday and can offer any help locating this cyclist please contact me, either here or at peterb - a t - gmail dot com. Thank you.

That would be a crash, not an accident.

Any better description? Style of bike, color, age of rider, helmet?

Sadly, no.  The assailant left the victim unconscious on the ground so he doesn't remember much.  That's why we're hoping someone saw it happen.

Does anyone who was involved use Strava?

Not Strava, but the Cyclemeter app (which I don't know much about)
