I’m praying he’s found alive. That’s a long drop. And with this rain I hope he had something warm on.such a late hour to be riding a bike. Hoping the driver stopped

CHP log posted on LoCo says the driver that hit the bicyclist stopped to report it. RP (driver) stated the bicyclist went over the side after being struck.

The location shown on a map on LoCo Timeline (using info ported from CHP incident log) shows the location to be very close to the Peg House. I assume the drop off being referred to is the one to the south of the Fire station where the road is on a ledge above the river. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/chpwatch/2017/may/12/00160/

Hey Peggy, does the person you checked on have a M last initial? Sounds like him from your description, hoping it’s him- that he’s safe. Hoping one day he gets his life back together as well, and he is extremely lucky to have not had this happen to him yet.
Strange how nobody else is covering this, anywhere. And no update since this morning.
I guess it’s the weekend..
Edit-Kym, Thank you for what you do. I was referring to LEO lack of updates on weekend.
