The Department of Public Safety needs your help finding a driver tonight.

Troopers said he or she ran over a bicyclist and fled the scene.

It happened Sunday night near La Feria.

DPS said a van was traveling West on Business 83 near the Hidalgo/Cameron County line.

DPS said the van's driver hit the bicyclist, a man in his 60s from Mercedes, and did stop to try and help him.

That's when a truck came and ran the victim over.

The driver of the green Ford Ranger with an extended cab reportedly took off.

Authorities are looking for that driver.

DPS said the truck has a Transformer sticker on the back of it.

If you have any information on who the driver is, call Weslaco DPS at 565-7600.
