The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said 38-year-old Marwan Maalouf died after a Chevrolet pickup truck hit him from behind while he was riding in the bicycle lane of Shea Boulevard on Sunday. The truck drove away without stopping, according to the police report.
A passing driver saw debris on the road and noticed the Chevy stop near 134th Street. The witness told deputies the driver got out and looked as if he was checking the truck for damage. Afterward, the witness called 911 and gave deputies the suspect’s license plate number.
Deputies found the suspect, 33-year-old Nicholas Linsk, and booked him into jail. Linsk faces a felony of leaving the scene of a fatal traffic collision.
