Upon arrival to the scene, emergency crews transported the bicyclist immediately to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

The victim is identified as 47 year-old Phillip Edward Cougill of Showell.

Upon investigation, several witnesses observed Mr. Cougill's red flashing strobe light that was attached to the rear seat of his bicycle. The flashing light is what led witnesses to Cougill, who was lying neXt to the guard rail just prior to Jarvis Road.

Scrape marks and other evidence on his shoulder show that Mr. Cougill was riding on the shoulder when he was struck.

The vehicle that struck Mr. Cougill fled the scene at the time of the incident.
