(FAIRHOPE, Ala.) June 13 -- Police say a man known for his love of cycling 
has died at the hands of a hit and run driver. The story is a double tragedy 
since the man?s wife was also killed two years ago in Fairhope while riding her 
bike. Monday morning?s crash, also in Fairhope, happened on Highway 98 just 
south of Volanta Avenue.?? 

Fairhope Traffic homicide investigators say 65 year old Laurence McDuff was 
riding his bicycle down Highway 98 Monday morning when he was struck by an 
unidentified vehicle on the shoulder of the road. Police officers have very little 
to go on and have been asking the public for help.

Fairhope Police Chief Chris Browning: ?The person operating the automobile 
fled the scene right at rush hour traffic. We don't have a lot of information to 
go on. We're working desperately to develop information on who the driver was 
who left the scene of the accident.? 


Monday evening, Police announced they had found the vehicle believed to be 
involved in the accident. It?s described as a 1991 Black Jeep Cherokee. They are 
still looking, however, for the driver. If you have any information which 
might help authorities find the person responsible, call the Fairhope Police at 
(251) 928-2385.

In a previous accident in February of 2003, McDuff?s wife, 58-year-old Ann 
McDuff, was struck and killed while riding her bicycle at the intersection of 
County Roads 27 and 34. Authorities say the crash that took her life was NOT a 
hit and run.
