State troopers are looking for a driver in a hit-and-run crash that killed a cyclist on Ives Dairy Road in north Miami-Dade County early Sunday.

The cyclist was riding west on Ives Dairy Road near Northeast 13th Court around 3:41 a.m. when the rider was struck and killed by a black Dodge Charger also traveling westbound.

The driver had been involved in a previous hit-and-run crash before striking the cyclist, said Jose Sanchez, spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol.

After the second crash, eyewitnesses followed the car and obtained a partial license tag number, Sanchez said.

Troopers have not yet released the name of the dead cyclist.
