The bicyclist who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run vehicle last Thursday was esteemed photographer Michael Wang who worked with the local nonprofit group, PATH.

Wang biked to work from Shoreline to South Lake Union everyday and was killed last Thursday when he was struck by a car on Dexter Avenue North and Thomas Street.

Michael Wang was previously featured in the Ballard News-Tribune for his photo exhibit documenting life in Bolivia.

Wang's friends and family have posted flyers throughout Ballard asking people to be on the look-out for the brown, American-made SUV that struck and killed Wang. The SUV has tinted windows and a chrome roof rack.

Any information regarding the hit-and-run or the vehicle should be reported to the Seattle Police Department.
