Two motorcyclists were injured in a hit-and-run collision on Lake Boulevard in Redding late Friday night, August 22, 2025.
According to the Redding Police Department, the crash occurred in the westbound lanes of Lake Boulevard between Clay Street and St. Marks Street shortly before midnight.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
