Police say they responded to a collision on southbound Akers Street, just south of Judy Avenue, on Saturday around 9:45 p.m. after a vehicle struck a man on a bicycle and then fled the scene before the officers arrived. The bicyclist was transported to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries the following morning.

On Monday, the police department described the suspect vehicle as a 2018-2020 white Ford F-150 and released images of the vehicle.
