Hemet Police Department Press Release: On September 7th 2016 at about 6:02 AM, Hemet Police Officers responded to a traffic collision involving a vehicle and bicyclist which occurred in the 900 block of west Florida Avenue in Hemet. Officers arrived and discovered a red Jeep Cherokee had collided with a bicycle in the roadway, and the bicyclist was seriously injured. Paramedics from The Hemet Fire Department and American Medical Response tried desperately to revive the man who was riding the bicycle; however, he died at the scene.

Preliminary investigation revealed a 34 year old Hemet man was riding his bicycle in the roadway near the intersection of Florida Avenue and Western Avenue.
