Two 6-year-olds riding their bicycles near Grandview Boulevard and Golden Gate Avenue in Half Moon Bay were seriously injured when a driver hit them and fled at about 5:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office said, according to NBC Bay Area.

The children were taken to a hospital and were in stable condition Sunday, the Sheriff's Office said.

Found hiding in the woods

A witness gave deputies a description of the driver and vehicle. After a search, deputies found the vehicle, and a Daly City Police Department drone unit helped locate the suspect hiding in a wooded area south of Bancroft Avenue, KTVU and NBC Bay Area reported.

Deputies identified him as Robert Schumann, 37, of San Francisco.

The allegations

Investigators said they found evidence Schumann was under the influence of alcohol. He was booked into Maguire Correctional Facility on suspicion of:

  • DUI causing bodily injury
  • hit-and-run resulting in injury
  • driving on a license suspended for a prior DUI conviction
  • driving with a blood-alcohol level over .01% while on probation

His vehicle was towed and impounded. The allegations have not been proven in court.
