Upon arrival, officers located a bicyclist lying unresponsive in the roadway. The victim – later identified as 71-year-old Maksudur Rahman of Berlin Township – was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officers learned that two separate motor vehicles had struck the victim and fled the scene. The first vehicle was later determined to be a gray Ford Fusion bearing a New Jersey registration. The other vehicle is suspected to be a dark-colored midsize SUV, possibly a Honda Pilot.
