Police are searching for a hit-and-run driver who struck a bicyclist who initially declined medical attention after the Humboldt Park crash, then died three days later after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

Rick Lomas, 31, a British citizen who friends say moved to Logan Square years ago with his wife, was cycling south on California Avenue about 1:50 a.m. May 7 when a westbound driver struck him on Augusta Avenue and kept on going, according to a Chicago police traffic report.
