Maybe the driver of the truck didn’t even know he hit the bicyclist when you are driving a heavy vehicle you cannot feel that you hit something
Should be easy to locate that driver / truck- barreling through the neighborhood, must have been caught on many many cameras. The detective work would take about 2 hrs. The Police don’t really want to catch this guy or cross the “Sanitation Line”.
