The second bicyclist was hit by a vehicle that was traveling west on High Street and turning left onto Pond Street when it struck the cyclist, police said.

The vehicle was described as a newer model Mini Cooper, possibly Clubman model, with a grey/green color, according to police.

While the cyclist was being helped, the car drove away down Pond Street towards Route 1, police said. They said the vehicle likely has damage to the passenger side and may have a New Hampshire registration.
