Police seek clues in Royal Oak Bicyclist’s Death

Last Friday, a female was a victim of a hit-and-run collision on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak.  She was struck and dragged more than 100 feet.  She died later at Beaumont Hospital.

According to a Detroit Free Press article:

Police say they believe a 2008 white Jeep Liberty was involved in a hit-and-run accident Friday that caused the death of a bicyclist.

Police said Tuesday that the Jeep likely has damage to its front and possibly to its passenger side.

Anyone with information is strongly urged to call the Royal Oak Police at 248.246.3515 anytime.
