Cyclist and dog struck in hit-and-run crash in LaSalle
LaSalle police are looking for the driver of a vehicle after a cyclist and a dog were injured in a hit-and-run crash.
An adult male cyclist was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Huron Church Line Road and St. Francis Street in the Town of LaSalle on Sunday around 9:30 p.m.
At the time, the cyclist was travelling on Huron Church through the intersection while walking his small dog.

The driver of the vehicle allegedly briefly stopped and exited but did not remain on scene, leaving northbound on Huron Church in his vehicle.
Both the cyclist and the dog suffered minor injuries and were examined by paramedics and a veterinarian respectively.
The vehicle is described as a dark-coloured SUV – possibly a Porsche.
The male driver was described as being in their 30s or 40s, clean cut, and wearing a white shirt and blue pants.
There appeared to be a child in the rear seat of the vehicle at the time of the collision. There may be damage to the front driver’s side of the vehicle.
Investigating officers have obtained surveillance video of the incident and are asking any nearby residents to check their surveillance cameras for the above noted time frame for further evidence of this hit and run.
