MARLOW, Alabama -- A vehicle struck and killed a bicyclist in south Baldwin County overnight and then left the scene, according to Alabama State Troopers.

Troopers received a call from Baldwin County 911 shortly after 7 a.m. about a middle-aged white male who was found on Baldwin County 28 near Annie Cooper Lane in the Marlow community, said Sgt. Joe Piggott, highway patrol post commander in Mobile.

“It was a hit and run, and we’re trying to find what car we’re looking for,” Piggott said.

The identity of the bicyclist has not been released as authorities try to locate relatives.

In a release issued about 1 p.m. today, Piggott said investigators are searching for a early-model Saturn (2000-2002) that may be maroon with a grey pinstripe with a damaged front end.

“Evidence suggests that a bicyclist was westbound on County Road 28 just west of Annie Cooper Lane when he was struck from behind by a vehicle that apparently left the scene of the crash,” Piggott said in the early-afternoon release.

Piggott said investigators have determined that the crash happened after 8:30 p.m. Sunday.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call 251-660-2300.
