Authorities are asking the public for help in locating the driver in a hit-and-run crash that happened Friday.
At about 11:45 a.m., a bicyclist fractured his leg when he was knocked off his bike on Chugach Way near Spenard Road, according to an Anchorage Police Department release.
“The motorist stopped briefly, and then ran over the bicycle as he fled the scene at a high rate of speed,” APD says.
The driver is described as an older white male, who possibly has gray hair. Witnesses say the vehicle involved was a dark blue or black SUV, “similar to a Suburban, Tahoe, or Yukon.” The vehicle is described to have tinted windows and large black custom wheels, according to the release.
APD asks anyone who has information about the identity of the driver to call Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP.
