The cyclist was ejected from the bike and died at the hospital.
One witness described the horrible crash.
"Look at the bike, spattered him under the car. I ain't never seen trauma like that in my life and I used to work in hospitals," Marc Crawford said.
Other witnesses told police the driver got out of the SUV with a baby, hopped into another car and drove off.
Police said the SUV was stolen.
