A motorcyclist was killed early Monday morning in Morgan County when he hit a deer and was then hit by a sedan.

The driver of the sedan fled the scene, on I-76 near Fort Morgan, but later turned himself in, said Trooper Josh Lewis, a Colorado State Patrol spokesman.

The fatal collision happened at about 1:50 a.m., Lewis said. A Medina Alert looking for the driver of the sedan was issued at about 7:15 a.m. The driver contacted authorities in Fort Morgan on Monday afternoon and the alert was canceled.

State patrol investigators will interview the driver Monday afternoon. The name of the 62-year-old motorcyclist was not released. An investigation is ongoing.
