The man was riding his bicycle in the 4100 block of West School Street on Sept. 24 when a sports-utility vehicle hit him about 3:50 p.m., according to Chicago police.

The man was thrown from his bicycle and onto the front windshield of the SUV before he landed in the street, police said.

The driver of the SUV got out of the vehicle, crouched over the man and asked him, "Are you OK?" and then returned to his vehicle and drove northbound.

Police said they believe he drove a 1998 to 2000 silver Toyota RAV4.
