GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. -
Authorities said Monday they had located the vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run collision with a bicyclist over the weekend.
Investigators with the North Carolina Highway Patrol put up police tape around a silver Dodge Durango at a home in Rockingham County as they checked for evidence that would link the SUV to the death of David Sherman, a cyclist who was struck from behind as he rode south on Church St. north of Greensboro on Saturday.
The highway patrol said charges against the driver were not expected to be filed Monday.
Sherman, 55, died at the scene, the highway patrol said.
Trooper said the vehicle that hit Sherman took off without stopping, but a witness identified it as a silver Durango. Investigators believe the SUV will have extensive windshield damage.
News of the death spread quickly through the cycling community.
"David was a cautious cyclist. He obeyed the rules of the road just like we do when we are in our cars," said Dolly Jennings, a friend.
Sherman was a vice president at Trinity-based Sealy Corp. and played violin in the Greensboro Philharmonia.
"People are in shock," said Sealy CFO Jeff Ackerman. "Dave was so full of life, and to have this happen so quickly, it's shocking."
"He learned to play the violin four years ago, marathon runner, cyclist," listed Larry Rogers, CEO of Sealy. "Dave was into the arts."
Sherman leaves behind a wife and two children.
Friends are putting together a reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.
Records from the North Carolina Department of Transportation show that, from 1997 to 2007, bicycle crashes killed 268 people in the state. In July, a car hit and killed a 14-year-old Mark Zanzarella as he rode his bike along Highway 311 in Clemmons. The driver did not face charges.
In April, a car hit and killed Elon University chemistry professor Eugene Gooch.
