Investigators on Wednesday announced they had arrested a man in connection to a hit-and-run crash in Torrance that killed a bicyclist.
Torrance police responded to an area near 227th Street and Hawthorne Boulevard around 5 a.m. on Sept. 17 after a passerby found a bicyclist down. Officers arrived and found the unresponsive bicyclist in a northbound lane of Hawthorne Boulevard and administered CPR, but were unable to save the victim.
