WATSON, La. (AP) State police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident on La. Highway 1026.

Troopers say 56-year-old Richard C. France of Denham Springs apparently was struck from behind as he pushed his bicycle in the eastbound traffic lane.

Investigators tell The Advocate of Baton Rouge that shortly after daybreak Thursday, a passer-by noticed the bicycle and France lying in the ditch.

State police suspect the vehicle involved will have minor to moderate damage to the right front fender and possible damage to the hood of the vehicle.
