Hobbs reach $18.29 billion budget agreement<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shortly before 6 a.m., officers were called to the area of Cave Creek and Greenway roads for reports of a crash involving a bicyclist. When police arrived, they found the bicyclist in critical condition due to his severe injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The man was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died. He has not yet been publicly identified.<\/p>\n<p>Police say the driver involved in the crash fled the scene before authorities arrived but was later found at a home and taken into custody. <\/p>\n<p>Sgt. Lorraine Fernandez said the vehicle had a chance to stop and help the bicyclist, but did not do so. The vehicle later stopped to let out a passenger before the driver continued on the road. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot stress this enough for our community,\u201d Sgt. Fernandez said. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine being in this situation where you\u2019ve struck another person. I can\u2019t imagine how terrifying that feeling of \u2018you\u2019re in trouble.\u2019 Please stop. We want to hear your side of the story. We want to hear what happened. Just because you were in the vehicle doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you were at fault. But we don\u2019t have that information if you don\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=1751\">Tucson parks and recreation fee changes up for final vote<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sgt.
