ARDEN ARCADE (CBS13) - California Highway Patrol is looking for a driver who fatally struck a boy on a bicycle in the Arden Arcade area.

The incident happened a little before 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday near the intersection of Watt and Whitney avenues. CHP's North Sacramento division says officers responded to investigate a report of a driver who had struck a bicyclist.

Witnesses told officers that the driver took off with the bicycle still on the hood of the car.
