Port Arthur police found a 53-year-old man in the road and a damaged bicycle after responding to a Monday night call to the 1800 block of Mobile Avenue.

Evidence indicated the vehicle was involved in the accident. Officers impounded the vehicle and identified a possible suspect, who was not arrested at the time.
