Authorities: Bicyclist Struck, Killed By Hit-And-Run Driver
Rider Was Apparently Struck From Behind

UPDATED: 6:37 pm CST February 7, 2007
MADISON, Wis. -- A man riding his bike was hit by a car and killed on Tuesday 
night in the Town of Blooming Grove.

According to the Dane County Sheriff's Department, the fatal collision happened 
at about 7:45 p.m. on Femrite Drive, under the interstate. The driver of the 
car that hit the man later left the scene, WISC-TV reported.

Dale Connors, 53, was found injured and lying in the road. He later died from 
his injuries

A 44-year-old Cottage Grove woman contacted authorities later that night saying 
that she might have hit something.

The Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney said that she has been very cooperative in 
the investigation and she said she thought ice had fallen onto her Chevy Tahoe.

"It was believed that something possibly had fallen off the bridge and struck 
the vehicle," Mahoney said. "It was only through subsequent looking through the 
vehicle once she arrived home that she realized that there was more damage."

The driver hasn't been arrested and it's not clear whether she will face any 
charges, WISC-TV reported.

Authorities are asking anyone who might have witnessed the accident to call the 
Dane County tip line at 608-284-6900.
