BUENA PARK, CA : Dad left for dead after Buena Park hit-and-run crash police searching for driver on Friday, 2nd August 2024

A family in Buena Park is hoping police help catch the driver responsible for running over a 65-year-old cyclist, leaving him in the street with severe injuries.

"I had a premonition this was going to happen last week, and when it happened I was like, oh my God," said Ralph Liberto.

Around 6:55 p.m. last Friday evening, Liberto was cycling near Marshall Avenue and 4th Street in Buena Park.

Surveillance video captured the moment he was hit by a driver in a light-colored sedan. In the video you can hear the car and the nasty collision.

"He tried to kill me," said Liberto. "He stepped on the gas and I looked up and saw him coming."

According to Liberto’s daughter, Jacque, her father tried peddling out of the way but couldn’t avoid the crash. The collision resulted in the 65-year-old shattering his right hip and left knee. So far, he has needed two surgeries and remains hospitalized.
