A bicyclist was killed after they were hit by a car that took off in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, according to authorities.
It happened at around 6:08 a.m., when police responded to the 2000 block of W Davie Boulevard for a traffic crash involving a vehicle and a bicyclist.
The victim was taken to the hospital by Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. That person’s name was not immediately released.
“Upon arrival, it was determined that the vehicle involved had fled the scene,” authorities said. “The investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver involved in this hit and run is encouraged to contact FLPD immediately.”
Video of the scene shows a mangled bicycle and helmet discarded on the roadway.
Davie Boulevard westbound from SW 15th Avenue to the Interstate 95 on-ramp was closed but has since reopened.
