Troopers are looking for the driver in a hit-and-run crash that left a bicyclist dead in Orlando.

The crash happened at 10:40 p.m. Friday on Colonial Drive near Peachtree Road in Orlando.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 2011 Nissan Altima was driving "at a high rate of speed and in a reckless manner" east on Colonial Drive. A trooper tried to stop the car at the intersection with State Road 441, but the driver kept going.

Troopers say Charles McMurray, 52, of Orlando, was stopped on his bicycle in the bi-directional turn lane at the intersection when he was hit by the Nissan Altima.

McMurray was thrown from his bicycle. He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.

The Nissan Altima was found abandoned about 30 minutes later in Orlando.

The crash remains under investigation. Charges are pending.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Florida Highway Patrol at 407-737-2213 or to contact Crimeline.
