FLINT, MI – The man who police say struck and killed a bicyclist Sunday night was fleeing from another accident, according to a police report.

Police received a call around 9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, about a driver that struck a pole on East Stewart Avenue and then left the accident. The driver then allegedly drove at a high rate of speed westbound on Pierson Road where he struck a man riding a bicycle near Winthrop Boulevard.

The bicyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not released his name.

The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody. It was unknown if he is still in custody.

Genesee County Special Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John Potbury said it will likely be awhile before charges are sought.

The crash remains under investigation.
