A Fox Island man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he hit a Gig Harbor bicyclist and fled.
Gregory McCormak Andrews has been charged with vehicular assault and failure to remain at the scene of an injury accident. Pierce County prosecutors allege he hit a woman July 12 near 42nd Street Court Northwest and Ray Nash Drive Northwest in Gig Harbor.
She suffered a concussion.
Two weeks after the accident, her husband drove around the area looking for the vehicle that hit his wife. He found Andrews’ car and took photos of damage to the side mirror, then reported it to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies questioned Andrews, who said he didn’t remember hitting anyone, but asked deputies to apologize to the bicyclist if he did, court papers show.
Andrews’ bail was set at $25,000.
