Vega said one of the vehicles left the scene but later returned. He was detained but cooperating, Vega said.
"The vehicle that hit the bicyclist left the scene but then he came back and did the right thing. Stayed on the scene and cooperated with us," Vega said.
The incident remains under investigation.
"It’s a tragic accident but this is now especially since it’s a festive weekend that we tell both pedestrians and motorists to be attentive and know that there’s other people on the streets. Go the speed limit and be attentive of your surroundings," Vega said.
No other information was immediately known.
