During their investigation, officers learned the cyclist was thrown from his bike after being hit.
The driver briefly stopped, but sped off before authorities arrived, Sgt. Baur said in a Riverside County Sheriff’s press release.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital.
The suspect vehicle is described as a dark-colored sedan with possible damage to the right side, Baur added.
