WYOMING, Mich. — The city of Wyoming Department of Public Safety says a car hit and killed a bicyclist Friday afternoon and the driver tried to get away.
Officers responded to the 3500 block of South Division Avenue just before 2:30 p.m.
They say the bicyclist was crossing South Division when he got hit by a car.
The bicyclist died at the scene.
Officers say the driver who hit the bicyclist took off, but witnesses got a description of the driver and their car.
A Kent County deputy found the driver a short time later at Madison Avenue and Sluyter Street.
The deputy arrested the driver, and Wyoming DPS believes speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
As of 4 p.m. Friday, South Division Avenue, between 35th and 36th streets, still is closed as officers investigate.
Wyoming DPS asks drivers to avoid the area.
