The Florida Highway Patrol has located the pickup truck believed to be in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a bicyclist on Oil Well Road.

On Monday, the FHP released pre-crash footage of a white Chevy pickup truck believed to be involved in the incident that occurred on Sunday.

The crash happened east of Ave Maria and south of Immokalee Road shortly before 8 a.m.

FHP responded to Oil Well Road and State Road 29 after a truck hit a 67-year-old man riding a bicycle.

On Wednesday night, the FHP located the pickup, partially concealed under a tarp, at a residence in Hendry County.
