Police said they arrested a man Friday suspected of killing a 53-year-old bicyclist in a hit-and-run crash in Red Oak.

Red Oak police said they responded to a call about the crash in the 2600 block of Ovilla Road at 11:24 p.m. Aug. 7 and found the victim lying in a ditch near a bicycle.

The victim — later identified as Albert Record — was transported to Parkland Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police said he was pronounced dead Tuesday.
