    A reader reports around 7:45am:

    “Apparent hit and run at 12th & Constitution- I just saw a man on a bike apparently get hit by a car that then drove away without stopping. (I say “apparently” because I did not actually see the crash – I was stopped at the light coming off the 12th St Expressway and happened to be looking down at the second of the impact – but I heard the collision and saw the guy fall and the car speed away.)

    Within seconds a cop appeared, so I am really hopeful he saw the car involved. The cyclist was motionless on the ground. Several people jumped out of their cars to assist the cop, and I called for an ambulance and to describe the car involved (although I’m sure the cop beat me to it).

    This was incredibly distressing to see and I know I won’t be able to get this out of my head all day. If anyone finds out any more information about this as the day goes on, please let us know. I hope the poor guy is OK.”
