Based on the investigation so far, police said they believe the man was riding an e-scooter in the bicycle lane when he was hit by the driver of a dark-colored SUV. Investigators said they believe the car was a black 2008-2010 Nissan Rogue. Both the scooter rider and the driver were headed north on Taft Hill Road.

The driver of the vehicle did not stay at the scene and instead kept traveling north. Police said the car will have front damage.

The scene was cleared after about six hours.

Anybody with information on this crash, the driver or the involved vehicle is asked to contact Fort Collins Officer David Kaes at 970-416-2229.

“We need our community’s help in identifying the involved vehicle and driver,” said Sgt. Mike Avrech, who oversees the CRASH Team. “Leaving the scene of any crash is a violation of Colorado law, and one involving death is especially egregious. Our thoughts go out to those in our community affected by this tragedy.”
