PASADENA >> A driver suspected of critically injuring a bicyclist in a hit-and-run collision near the Rose Bowl was caught Tuesday after a witness followed him and called police.

Pasadena police Lt. Mark Goodman said the rider, a 60-year-old Pasadena man, remains at a local hospital.

The head-on collision occurred at 4:47 p.m.

Goodman said a sedan was heading north on Rosemont Avenue when for an unknown reason, it veered into the southbound lanes and struck a bicyclist head-on. The driver left after the collision.

Goodman said a witness followed the sedan and called police. Officers caught up to the sedan in the 1100 block of Mentone Avenue.

Gary Dobbs, 57, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and felony hit-and-run, he said.

Goodman said Dobbs wasn’t injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Police booked him later at the Pasadena jail then transferred him to county jail.

As of Wednesday, Dobbs is being held at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles on $100,000 bail.
