County authorities Saturday identified the 51-year-old bicyclist who was struck and killed by a vehicle in a hit-and-run collision in Northridge.
The collision was reported at 9:20 p.m. Thursday and Los Angeles Police Department officers were called to the area near 8556 N. Lindley Ave. and Parthenia Street where they found the victim, identified as Danny Oerlemans by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s office, said an LAPD spokesman.
During the investigation, police learned the driver of the vehicle who struck Oerlemans was driving north on Lindley near Napa Street when they struck Oerlemans, knocking him off his bicycle and into the street.
The driver left the scene without stopping and four or five additional vehicles struck the victim in the street, police said.
Oerlemans was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel. There was no vehicle or suspect description.
