A bicyclist is dead after a hit-and-run crash Sunday morning in north Phoenix.

Phoenix police say they were called to the area near Cave Creek and Bell roads for a report of an injured person.

When officers arrived, they found an unresponsive man near a damaged bicycle.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as 81-year-old Eduardo Ramirez Jimenez.

The vehicle that hit the bicyclist had fled before officers arrived. However, while investigating, detectives noticed a vehicle nearby with damage consistent with a recent crash.

Officers made contact with the driver, 27-year-old Alberto Chilel Santos, and detained him. While in custody police say he showed signs of impairment.

A preliminary investigation revealed to police that Santos allegedly was traveling eastbound on Grandview Road when he veered into oncoming traffic, then onto a sidewalk where he hit Jimenez, who was standing next to his bicycle.
