"The bicyclist was initially the person at fault, if the driver would have stayed at the scene, it would have just been an accident, but now it turns into a whole different investigation," said Lt. Phil Cooley, Fresno Police Department.
Witnesses described the driver's vehicle as a silver or light blue full size truck, possibly carrying lawn equipment. The victim has not been identified, but authorities say he appeared to be in his 20's or 30's.
