NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- A 27-year-old bicyclist was transported to Halifax Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries Wednesday night after he was struck by a hit-and-run driver while pedaling westbound near the crest of the South Causeway Bridge, New Smyrna Beach police said.
Brandon Munsell was transported by EVAC ambulance after police and fire paramedics responded to a 9-1-1 call from a motorist who spotted the victim just after 9:21 p.m.
"He was conscious and talking," Sgt. Valerie Joyce said. The New Smyrna Beach victim's bicycle was taken into evidence by police.
Joyce said Munsell did not see the vehicle that hit him and just after midnight this morning, police had no eyewitnesses. Leaving the scene of an accident with probable injury is a felony.
NSBNEWS.net was initially alerted to the crash by a good Samaritan.
