Hit-run bicyclist killed Sunday was Harrowgate teen
Police have identified a teen bicyclist killed by a hit-and-run driver Sunday afternoon in Feltonville as Tyrone Alexander, 17, of Harrowgate.
Alexander, of Atlantic near Jasper, died at Temple University Hospital, and until today, weren't sure of his identity, police said.
Police found the striking car shortly afterward at 7th and Atlantic streets in Kensington and questioned a suspect, who was released pending further investigation. The vehicle remains in police custody.
The woman behind the wheel of the vehicle hit Alexander as she veered into the oncoming lane to pass another motorist, Capt. John Wilczynski, the head of the Accident Investigation Division, told the Daily News.
Wilczynski said that the investigation has been turned over to the District Attorney's Office, who will decide if and when charges will be filed against the driver.
