The Charlotte Observer reports that around 6 a.m. Sunday morning, Edward Hedrick III was riding his bicycle with a few friends along Poindexter Drive in south Charlotte when he was struck by a late model Toyota sedan.

The friends, who apparently had been ahead of Hedrick, had noticed that he had been struck and was laying on the ground near his bike. The friends turned around to help, and flag down the driver, unfortunately the driver of the vehicle did not stop.
