Police seek information in hit and run

Police are looking for the driver who struck 28-year-old

Christopher Rowland during morning rush hour traffic on Sept. 26 on

the San Diego freeway just south of Beach Boulevard.

Rowland rear-ended what police believe was a white Mazda when the

driver of the car, which had been stopped in traffic, crossed over

two sets of double yellow lines and cut into the carpool lane, said

California Highway Patrol Officer Garry Goldenberg.

Rowland, on a motorcycle, was unable to avoid the car. He suffered

major internal injuries.

The driver of the car fled, although police believe that one or

two motorists who saw the accident may have chased the driver,

Goldenberg said.

While motorists may not have gotten the car’s license plate number

they might still be able to provide some details that could help

investigators.

Rowland is recovering from his injuries at UCI Medical Center in

Orange.

Anyone with information is asked to call Westminster office of the

of CHP at (714) 892-4426.
