Hit and run on two cyclists, possibly this morning, on Tunnel Rd. Cyclists appear okay. Video from one of the riders. Black late 1990's two-door Acura Integra with spoiler, partial license plate 3xTx9xx.

I would be surprised if someone good at video editing couldn't get that license plate number. Pretty good view of it at the end.

Wow and nobody stopped either. Did they go to police with it? They should be able to get LP number.

It's probably clear in the original video, transcoded video on youtube from the gopros is notoriously inferior.

Looks to me like the plate was fuzzed out by the editor....

That wasn't even close! the car was waaaaay into the cyclists lane and clocked them both! Far out!

My first thought is someone with a hangover just not paying attention. (Or still drunk from the night before)

I'd say it's pretty likely the driver will get caught and busted, but stranger things have happened.

Glad they both seem OK-ish

Wow. Hope they made it out as well as it seems. Should be fairly easy to get that plate off of the original video. They may want to edit the part where they blew through those two stop signs.

I can't imagine riding on roads like that for an extended period of time and NOT being hit at some point. Scary roads.

I recently moved to Berkeley, and one of the things that struck me was that people don't like cyclists as much as anywhere else. I've also noticed an absurd amount of drivers talking on their cell phones & texting even though the law prohibits it. Not sure if that lead to this particular collision, however I will certainly be more aware next time I head up Tunnel.

95 Integra definitely is what it looks like. My dad had one of those for many years. You can tell by the rear bumper which does not have the vents/slats that the 1998 integra has. This is a disgusting act, and they need to catch this person ASAP

I'm seriously considering getting a GoPro Hero2 because of this and other posts. Mount it on the back of the bike, and my iPhone for video from the front.

Yea no doubt. I was just thing the same thing. How aero do you think one of those are? But seriously you almost have to these days. I think a helmut mounted one would be good for these assholes who like to throw thnigs at people. Look right at em and dont need to worry about remembering the licence plate.

Pretty scary that there were other cars behind the acura that just kept driving as well.

That's awesome...hopefully some justice will be dished out.

Unfortunately, yes they definitely should have edited that out. There already were plenty of comments streaming in last night when I saw this about how they deserved to be hit for not obeying traffic laws.

Yes, blowing stop signs can be dangerous, but it obviously had absolutely nothing to do with being hit in this case. Yet, that seems to make this somehow justified for a nontrivial amount of motorists viewing this video.
