A New Brunswick cyclist has died following a hit and run in Moncton.
Police say the 58-year-old Dieppe man was biking on the Lewisville Road, near the intersection of Dowd Street, when he was struck by a vehicle just before 11 p.m. Tuesday.
The man suffered serious injuries in the crash and was taken to hospital where he died.
Police say the driver of the vehicle, a 23-year-old Dieppe man, left the scene of the crash but was arrested a short time later in connection with the incident.
He has since been released from police custody. A decision on charges has yet to be made.
Police say an RCMP collision reconstructionist and forensic identification specialist are assisting in the investigation to determine what caused the fatal crash.
The victim’s name has not been released.
