Police in Berkeley are looking for a motorist who drove away after rear-ending a cyclist earlier this week, sending her to the hospital with moderate injuries, authorities report.

The collision happened Monday shortly before 8:40 p.m. at Shattuck Avenue and Woolsey Street in [South Berkeley](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/south-berkeley/), the [Berkeley Police Department](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) said.
