A 43-year-old woman who struck and killed a 77-year-old man as he was riding a bike on an Arvada road Sunday around dusk surrendered to authorities hours after the crash, state troopers said.

The names of the victim and suspect have not been released. Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis identified the female driver as a 43-year-old Arvada woman.

The woman was driving a golden Toyota Highlander northbound on Indiana Street when she struck and killed the bicyclist, CSP Cpl. Ivan Alverado said Monday.

Following the crash, the woman turned her SUV around and headed south on Indiana, Alverado said.

Lewis said the woman turned herself in and is speaking with CSP investigators. No charges have been filed.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Alverado said.
