COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Columbus police continued to search for a hit-and-run suspect after a motorcyclist was killed late Wednesday.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
Columbus Police are looking for a driver after a motorcyclist was killed in a crash on the city's East Side overnight.
CPD said 23-year-old Thomas Dicenzo of Columbus was driving his 1994 Suzuki motorcycle westbound on East Broad Street, approaching the intersection of North Gould Road.
An unidentified white or light-colored, two-door, compact vehicle was traveling eastbound on East Broad Street close to 10 p.m.
An unidentified vehicle turned northbound on North Gould Road in front of Dicenzo, causing him to crash his motorcycle, CPD said.
Investigators said Dicenzo might have struck the rear, passenger-side corner of the unidentified vehicle.
The driver fled the scene prior to police arrival, CPD said.
A second crash happened when another vehicle swerved to avoid Dicenzo, who remained in the road. That vehicle hit another.
Dicenzo was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect was driving a white Chevy Cavalier, according to witnesses.
CPD continued to investigate, and anyone with information was asked to call 614-645-4767.
