CALDWELL, ID – Idaho State Police are looking for a driver who fled the scene after a bicycle rider was fatally struck by two different vehicles on Tuesday southern Idaho.

According to police, a bicyclist was traveling eastbound on US20/26, near Caldwell, on March 18.  At 7:03 p.m., on a westbound Interstate 84 off ramp, a gray passenger car was turning westbound onto US20/26 from the off ramp and struck the bicyclist.  The bicyclist was struck a second time by a 2013 Ram 2500 pickup that was also turning westbound.  The driver of the passenger car fled the scene.

The bicyclist, a 55-year-old-man from Caldwell, was critically injured and died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet. The driver of the pickup, a 43-year-old man from Caldwell, was not injured.
