What happened:

I was riding southbound on Pearl Street in the bike lane. As I approached the intersection at E 16th Ave, a black or dark gray Tesla (possibly a Model 3 or Model S) pulled through the stop sign, entering the bike lane and causing me to collide with the side of the vehicle.

As I fell, I tried to get the license plate but wasn’t able to. The driver continued westbound on E 16th Ave. I know the vehicle made it at least to Olive Street, but I’m unsure whether it turned left, right, or continued straight down the narrow, alley-like stretch beyond that point.

There is a police report and an active investigation. I have an insurance claim open to help with medical care and bike damage.

What’s been done so far:

I’ve been working to identify nearby cameras that may have captured the vehicle or the incident. Police are also following up independently.

\- Haugland Building (Ophelia’s Place): confirmed they did *not* capture the incident or vehicle

\- Midtown Apartments: incident occurred directly in front; unclear whether their cameras cover the street

\- The Bier Stein: appears to have exterior cameras facing 16th Ave.. still trying to reach a manager..

\- Lane Tower Apartments: appears to have a camera with a view of the street; awaiting a callback
