A cyclist died in a hit-and-run in the Bronx on Sunday after a woman hit him with her car and drove off with a child in tow, cops said.
The woman was driving a white Jeep when she rammed the man near the corner of East 172nd Street and Metcalf Avenue in Soundview just before 3 p.m., police said.
After hitting the cyclist, she exited the Jeep with a child and was picked up by another vehicle. The getaway vehicle fled the scene and left the man bleeding on the ground, police said.
The man suffered leg trauma and was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.
Police were still working to identify the victim, who may have been a delivery man, on Sunday evening.
The driver remained at large Sunday evening.
The hit-and-run crash is the second fatal driver-cyclist crash in the Bronx in just five days.
Just before midnight Wednesday, 26-year-old Victoriano Angeles was riding an e-bike in Mott Haven when he collided with a Chevrolet Impala. He was taken to Lincoln Hospital, but could not be saved.
