Pleasant Hill police say arrest made in early-morning fatal hit-and-run; investigation ongoing
Summary
Pleasant Hill police told the Traffic Safety Commission an arrest was made after a fatal hit-and-run around 1:47 a.m. Sunday at the Contra Costa/Taylor (Sun Valley) intersection; the department said it is withholding further details while the investigation is active.
Sergeant Tilman of the Pleasant Hill Police Department told the Traffic Safety Commission on March 10 that the department is investigating a fatal hit-and-run that occurred about 1:47 a.m. on Sunday at the intersection of Contra Costa Boulevard and Taylor, where the roadway becomes Sun Valley Boulevard.
"There was a fatal hit and run. It is an active investigation. There was an arrest made in that case," Sergeant Tilman said, adding the department could not release additional details at this time so that potential witnesses would not be deterred from coming forward.
Tilman said the collision involved a pedestrian who was walking a bicycle and that it occurred on the southeast corner of the intersection, near a mattress shop. The sergeant declined to provide identifying details about the suspect or the precise corner beyond saying it was the southeast corner, citing the active nature of the investigation.
Commissioners acknowledged the update and said they expected staff and the department to follow up at a future meeting if more information becomes available. No charges, arrest booking information or court dates were provided at the March 10 meeting.
The commission did not take action on the police report; the department asked the public to contact investigators if anyone has information relevant to the case.
