Florida Highway Patrol says Tyrone Lamont Bundren, 41, was driving south on US-41 when a pedestrian riding a bicycle was crossing the southbound lanes of US-41 near Harborage Drive. Troopers say Bundren hit the bicyclist who fell into the roadway and was then run over by a second vehicle that was behind Bundren. That vehicle lost control after hitting the pedestrian and crashed into a tree. The person on the bicycle was pronounced dead on the scene. FHP says Bundren fled with the pedestrian’s bicycle stuck underneath their vehicle. His truck was found about a mile away on Doral Drive, where he left it to escape on foot.

He is being held in the Lee County Jail on a $225,000 bond.
