A 21 YEAR-OLD LIVE OAK MAN PLEADED GUILTY THIS MORNING TO HITTING AND KILLING A BICYCLIST NEAR U.C.S.C. LAST JUNE. ELLIOT STERLING DESS, WHO INITIALLY PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO THE HIT-AND-RUN CRASH (THAT LEFT 25 YEAR-OLD ZACHARY PARKE WITH FATAL INJURIES) REVERSED THAT PLEA TODAY. DESS ALSO TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO APOLOGIZE TO PARKE’S MOTHER.
PARKE WAS HIT WHILE RIDING HIS BICYCLE DOWN THE 8-FOOT WIDE BIKE LANE ON EMPIRE GRADE ROAD….JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT JUNE 8TH.
