NBC 6’s Bobby Brooks reports from Fort Lauderdale where a bicyclist was fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver over the weekend.
Fort Lauderdale Police are looking for a car that they believe was connected to a hit-and-run crash that left a bicyclist dead last week.

Blackledge was taken to the hospital but died as a result of his injuries.
Police released a photo of a gray or silver, 4-door vehicle of interest in connection with the crash.
