A driver has been arrested after he allegedly struck and killed a father and injured his son cycling along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
The incident occurred about 1:30 a.m. Sunday. The man in his 40s died at the scene, while his teenage son was taken to a hospital and expected to survive.
The driver, a man in his early 30s, ditched a truck he had been driving about a mile south of the crash, and fled on foot. He was found and taken into custody. His identity was not immediately made available.
Authorities say the cyclists were participating an annual 200-mile ride that begins and ends in Malibu.
