The California Highway Patrol has identified the bicyclist who was killed in a collision on Los Berros Rd. near Arroyo Grande on May 12 as Joshua Thomas Edward McFarland, 19, of Nipomo.

Investigators say McFarland was riding his bike southbound on Los Berros Rd. at around 11:20 p.m. when he was struck by a vehicle just south of El Campo Rd.

CHP says the driver, identified as Dylan Lammers, 41, left the scene and later called authorities to report the collision.

San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's deputies responded to the area and found McFarland dead at the scene.

Lammers was arrested at his home in Nipomo.

Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area around the time of the collision and saw a bicyclist or a black Jeep SUV to call the San Luis Obispo CHP office at (805) 594-8700.
