A female cyclist was killed in an early-morning collision in Oshawa in what police are calling a hit-and-run.

According to Durham Regional Police, a woman in her 30s was struck and killed on Stevenson Road near Laval Drive around 4 a.m. The road is closed between Gibb Street and Champlain Avenue. A section of Laval Drive is also closed.

Police investigators are at the scene carrying out a full reconstruction of the crash.

"There is no description of the vehicle," said Const. George Tudos. "However, there is evidence at the scene which we hope leads to some sort of description of the vehicle."

Police say more information will be released Friday morning.
