A 19-year-old cyclist has died in hospital from his injuries following a hit-and-run collision in Georgina early this morning.

Police were called to Pollock Road west of Kennedy Road around 4:45 a.m. after the teen’s body was found in the road by a passerby, York Regional Police said in a news release.
