LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department said Tuesday that the investigation into a hit-and-run crash that occurred earlier in the evening was set to continue late into the night.

At about 7 p.m. two bicyclists were hit in the area of Martin and Bevins streets by a 1990s model Nissan pickup – described as either silver or light gray in color – that fled the scene after the crash, police said.

The pickup – which sustained front grill damage and a shattered front windshield – was last seen heading toward Highway 29, police said.

A more detailed description of the pickup wasn't immediately available Tuesday night, but police said the investigation is under way and more information will be released as soon as it becomes available.

Police said the pickup's driver is wanted for two counts of felony hit-and-run causing serious injury.
 
The investigation at the scene is expected to take several hours – possibly more – and during that time, Bevins Street from Bevins Court to Martin Street and Martin Street between Russell Street and Orchid Street will remained closed by Lakeport Public Works personnel, police said. Drivers are asked to avoid the area. 

Police are asking the community to be on the lookout for the pickup. Anyone who has seen the vehicle or who has any information about the crash is asked to call the Lakeport Police Department at 707-263-5491.
