PRINCE GEORGE - One of two cyclists who was struck in a hit and run earlier this week in Prince George, B.C., has died of his injuries.
Mounties say Shane Kelly was a “community rider” who had been training with an officer from the detachment for the Cops for Cancer Tour de North fundraiser.Â
Police said in an earlier news release that the pair were hit near a city intersection at 9 a.m. on Monday and the driver didn’t stay at the scene.Â

Both cyclists were found on the side of the road and brought to hospital with serious injuries, while police say a suspect vehicle was found nearby and a man was taken into custody.
The Mounties say Kelly — who was a “proud supporter” of fundraising events — died Thursday.
They say the investigation is ongoing and police are still looking to speak with witnesses or anyone who may have dash camera footage of the area around the time of the crash.
Police have not released the status of the Mountie who was hit alongside Kelly.
The police statement says the detachment is “heartbroken” by the news of Kelly’s death, calling him “a caring and enthusiastic team builder” who was “driven by a deep commitment to making a difference for children with cancer.”
“Shane’s family is taking time to grieve privately and has requested space during this difficult period,” it says.Â
