Anna Grace Arnold, a friend of 29-year-old cyclist Dana Cray Fernie – who was treated at San Francisco General hospital for a major concussion, a laceration to the head, road rash and bruising – turned to Twitter to describe Tuesday night’s incident in the hopes of alerting the public.
Fernie was reportedly riding along Potrero Avenue between 22nd and 23rd streets – directly in front of General Hospital – sometime between 10:15 p.m. and 10:27 p.m. when she was hit by a dark blue, late model Mini Cooper. The vehicle’s side mirror broke off in the collision, according Arnold.
Fernie was released from the hospital on Wednesday and is recovering from her injuries, but the driver remains at large. Community members are asked to report sightings of the vehicle to the police or to contact Arnold directly on Twitter.
