The coroner’s office Friday released the name of the 24-year-old cyclist who was struck and killed by two hit-and-run motorists in Long Beach.

The cyclist was Cole Micek of San Pedro, the coroner’s office reported.

Micek was found by Long Beach officers about 3 a.m. Saturday in lane 2 of the northbound Terminal Island (74) Freeway at Pier A Way.

Officers administered medical assistance, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators released images of the two cars, one a white Toyota Camry, believed to be a 2015-17 model, and the other a late-90s Honda Accord with a distinctive dark hood and a sunroof.

Anyone who recognizes the sedans or has information about the crash or the drivers involved is urged to call LBPD Collision Investigation Detective Sirilo Garcia at (562) 570-7132. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).
