VIDEO: Car hits cyclist, runs red light in Orlando hit-and-run

Law enforcement authorities are trying to identify the vehicle and driver that ran a red light and clipped a cyclist in a hit-and-run that in Orlando on Sunday evening.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to County Road 439/Conroy Windermere Road just north of Dr. Phillips Boulevard on Sunday, March 26, after receiving reports of an accident involving a car and a bicycle.

The incident was caught entirely on dashcam video.

In the video, two bicycles are seen proceeding across the crosswalk of the roadway while multiple vehicles are stopped at a red light. As the bicycles continue, a Toyota Corolla is seen driving at high speed towards the intersection.

The Corolla does not stop, but instead, drives through a lane at the intersection at the same moment that one of the bicycles is crossing.

The bicycle is seen hitting the left side of the Corolla as it clips the front of the bicycle. The car then flees the scene, speeding through the intersection and nearly crashing into oncoming traffic.

The bicyclists were transported to a local hospital with unspecified injuries.

The Florida Highway Patrol is asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the agency at 407-737-2300, or the Central Florida Crimeline at 800-423-8477.
