The victim, identified as Town of Loomis Finance Director and Treasurer Roger Carroll, was traveling eastbound on his bicycle when a 2007-2014 charcoal gray GMC Sierra or Yukon struck him from behind, and fled the scene.

A nearby worker who found the victim lying in the road called and called 911. The victim was taken to Adventist Health + Rideout for treatment. Unfortunately, he died.
