A 23-year-old woman was on her bicycle riding north on Masonic when a truck traveling the same direction and weaving between lanes struck her, according to police.
The truck, a black pickup with a camper shell on the back, accelerated away, and the driver had not been found as of Monday morning, police spokesman Officer Albie Esparza said.
The victim was taken to a hospital with head injuries that are not considered life-threatening, Esparza said.
