A 33-year-old South Lake Tahoe bicyclist was killed early Wednesday morning by a hit-and-run driver.

The man, whose name has not been released, was found by construction workers in the early morning of June 27 when they arrived to work. He was already deceased.

This was on Highway 50 eastbound, west of the Upper Truckee River.

According to the California Highway Patrol, it appears the cyclist was going south across the eastbound lanes when he was struck by the frontend of an unknown vehicle.
