MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police have released a picture of a suspect's vehicle in a hit and run crash that left a bicyclist in midtown critically injured.
In July, CrimeStoppers announced a $4,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and charges against the driver in the June 19, 2023, crash.
MPD officers responded to the hit-and-run crash at Sam Cooper Blvd. and East Parkway North about 3:45 p.m. Monday, June 19, 2023. They said a man on a bike was hit by a driver, who took off from the scene. The bicyclist was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition.
CrimeStoppers said the bicyclist was a 21-year-old who was in town to work an internship at Nike. They said he was thrown 50 feet and the bike was left mangled.
CrimeStoppers officials said the car is described as a gray or silver Dodge Avenger or similar vehicle. CrimeStoppers said there were witnesses saw the crash and the car, but no one has turned in a license plate number. Memphis Police investigators with the traffic bureau said it is likely the sedan suffered front-end, hood and possibly windshield damage.
The family posted the $4,000 reward, and CrimeStoppers said that will be added to any reward its committee determines for the case.
