The hunt for the driver who fatally injured a bicyclist in Lincoln last night is over as an Oshawa man had turned himself in.
Today (July 26) in the early afternoon, a man gave himself up to the Niagara Police in the incident.
Police arrived on the scene last night in the Sann Road North and Tufford Road North area to find a lone male cyclist suffering from critical life-threatening injuries.
The 51-year-old man from Grimsby later died.
After describing the car, the driver and his clothing, the police put out a call to nearby law-enforcing agencies, asking them for assistance.
At the time, they also said the driver “should contact legal counsel to plan a peaceful surrender as soon as possible.”
