Former D.C. cop admits to hit-and-run of cyclist

A retired D.C. police officer pleaded guilty in a hit-and-run collision with a bicyclist that was caught on camera.

On Aug. 31, 2011, prosecutors said, John W. Diehl, 57, pulled alongside the victim and cursed at him for being in the middle lane of the 3000 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE. Diehl then changed lanes and clipped the cyclist, causing the victim to crash. Diehl kept driving. The bicyclist suffered an injury to his shoulder.
