DALLAS – Dallas police are seeking help from the public to identify the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash with a cyclist Sunday morning.
The wreck happened just after 7 a.m., in the 12900 block of Kleberg Road.

The cyclist later died from his injuries, police said.
Anyone with information about the driver or this crash is asked to call Det. Kenneth Watson at (214) 671-0015 or email kenneth.watson@dallaspolice.gov.
