State troopers are investigating an early morning hit-and-run crash involving a bicyclist in DeLand.
The Volusia Sheriff’s Office responded shortly after 3 a.m. to Woodland Boulevard near Glenwood Road, after receiving information about a bicyclist who had been struck.
VSO told Channel 9 one patient was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
That person’s condition was not available.
WFTV’s Q McCray has been near the crime scene since 4 a.m. and witnessed two bicycles along the roadway with obvious damage.
Troopers later arrived and told him that the crash involved a vehicle that did not remain at the scene of the collision.
It is not yet clear if Florida Highway Patrol located the vehicle involved in the crash elsewhere.
Channel 9 has learned the person on the bicycle might have been traveling while transporting a second bike.
Both bikes were later loaded onto a tow truck.
All six lanes of Woodland Boulevard were shut down for the investigation, but have since reopened.
