Mere hours after a dead cyclist was found in a ditch on a rural Ontario road, police arrested a man they believe struck the cyclist and sped off without contacting authorities.
An investigation into the death of 37-year-old Adam Hofstetter of Tillsonburg, Ont., who was found dead in a ditch on Hawkins Road at about 11:30 Thursday night, led police to the residence of an Aylmer, Ont. man who they arrested at around 1:30 a.m. Friday.

EDIT: Another fatality... different circumstance.
Robin Freeman was remembered Friday at a service at Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church in Nepean.
He had been cycling on Carling Avenue near Woodroffe Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Sunday when a motorcycle crashed into him.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate Freeman but he was pronounced dead in hospital.
Police said the motorcycle was travelling at a high speed at the time of the crash.

He was not wearing a helmet when a speeding motorcycle hit him while crossing the street.
