Authorities are investigating a hit-and-run in Cooper City that killed a woman who was riding a bicycle.
The incident happened around 11:40 p.m. Sunday in the 9500 block of Sheridan Street.
Broward Sheriff’s Office officials said W C was riding her bicycle westbound on Sheridan Street on the outside edge of the roadway as the driver of a 2020 Acura TLX approached from behind.
As the driver approached, he failed to move over and hit C with the front passenger side of the Acura, officials said.
C was thrown from the bicycle as the driver fled the scene, officials said.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded and brought C to Memorial Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
A witness who saw the collision followed the 37-year-old driver to Pembroke Pines. Deputies responded and obtained a search warrant to seize the vehicle, officials said.
Officials haven’t said what charges the driver may face but said the incident remains under investigation.
