Baltimore authorities are currently investigating and seeking a suspect for a fatal hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of a 47-year-old bicyclist in West Baltimore on Feb. 4.
On Feb. 4, shortly before 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a call regarding a car accident that resulted in injuries at the intersection of West Franklin Street and Payson Street.
When police arrived on the scene, they were advised that a vehicle had struck a 47-year-old male bicyclist while they were crossing the intersection. The unidentified vehicle fled the scene after the accident, leaving the victim on the street to suffer from life-threatening injuries.
While medics attempted to provide life-saving treatment, the victim was ultimately pronounced dead on the scene.
