SARASOTA, Fla. — A 70-year-old bicyclist was killed after a driver hit him and drove away Friday in Sarasota, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The incident happened just after midnight on Friday at the intersection of Beneva and Wilkinson roads.
Troopers said the bicyclist was riding in front of the driver on Beneva Road when the car crashed into him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Monday, troopers located and impounded the car believed to have been involved in the hit-and-run, a 2010 Ford Fusion with no passenger side mirror and front end damage.
"FHP continues to investigate the crash and a person of interest as the suspected driver," the agency said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Florida Highway Patrol or Crime Stoppers.
