A man from Pontiac was pronounced dead after being struck from behind by multiple vehicles while riding his bike.

The 51-year-old victim was riding a bicycle westbound on W. Kennett Road when he was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle. 

The vehicle did not stop and fled the scene; parts collected indicated that the responsible vehicle was a blue Ford, but the vehicle model and year is unknown at this time, police say.

The victim was then struck by at least two other vehicles that were also traveling westbound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The first vehicle was a 2010 Ford Fusion operated by a 59-year-old Ferndale resident. The second vehicle was a 2005 Lexus RX operated by a 48-year-old Pontiac resident.
