Local Business Faces Extensive Damage, Seeks Community Support
Salt Lake City, Utah (March 16, 2025) — In the early morning hours of Saturday, March 15, an alleged hit-and-run and alleged drunk driver crashed their car into Peak State Fit / CycleCafe, Utah’s only bike shop and coffee shop fusion, causing extensive damage to the historic Liberty Wells building at the corner of 1700 S and 300 E.
Surveillance footage captured the driver fleeing the scene on foot after the crash, and witness statements were provided to authorities. Despite the clear evidence, the Salt Lake City Police Department has opted not to press charges, leaving us with an ongoing insurance investigation and significant repair costs.
“We just completed our new patio for spring, creating an inviting space for our community, and now we’re left dealing with the aftermath of someone else’s reckless actions,” said Heather Casey, owner of Peak State Fit / CycleCafe. “Our team is still here, serving our neighbors, and we appreciate any public support as we work to rebuild.”
Despite the setback, Peak State Fit / CycleCafe remains open and committed to serving the Liberty Wells community. As a hub for cyclists, coffee lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts, we are determined to move forward and continue providing a welcoming space.
We invite our community to show their support by stopping in for a coffee, booking a bike fit or service, or simply sharing our story.

They offer expert bike fitting, high-end service, and specialty coffee and espresso drinks to the Salt Lake City community.

We have an ongoing investigation into this crash. We are sorry this happened and we recognize the impact it has had on the business and the cycling community. This case is assigned to a detective. Before we file a case with the district attorney’s office or make an arrest, we need to ensure we have probable cause and part of that includes making sure we can articulate, before a judge, and ultimately a jury, that we know, specifically, who was driving the motor vehicle during the crash. Our investigation is underway and we appreciate the evidence that has been gathered thus far.
As a victim of this hit-and-run, I appreciate the ongoing investigation and efforts to find the responsible driver. I hope justice is served.
I was the Uber driver that the Drunk driver hit before speeding and ended up hitting this great business.
I lost more than just a car , I can’t do uber right now .
This is a sad reminder of the ignorance of too many drivers out there…..drunk or otherwise……stuff like this happens all too often here in Phoenix, AZ area!!
