Family mourns 71-year-old killed in Voorhees hit-and-run

A South Jersey family demanding justice after a deadly hit and run over the weekend. Police say a 71-year-old man was struck and killed while riding his bike on Saturday. And Greg, you spoke with that man's heartbroken family. Yeah, Dawn, I had a chance to speak with his son. And the surprising thing is the son mentioned the fact that he understands that there was an accident and he knows that accidents and crashes happen. And his one thing is, why would somebody leave his father there to die on the ground? It was something that none of us expected, but it was very sad. We were all very sad. Employees at Harmony Diner along Route 73 in Voorhees are remembering their fellow co-worker, 71-year-old Maksudur Rahman, who was tragically killed while riding his bike. I don't believe that, but after I call another person and say, oh, yes, it happened, it's an accident, and I feel bad. Maksudur was leaving his shift at the diner early Saturday morning when police say they were called just after 1:15 to the 100 block of Route 73 for a motor vehicle accident involving a cyclist. Officers discovered the 71-year-old unresponsive in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene. In my family, beside me and my sister, so it's only my mom. So it's been a very big loss for us. Mamadour is still trying to process the loss of his father, especially since investigators determined that two vehicles hit him and fled the scene. The cars are believed to be a dark gray or black 2017 to 2020 Ford Fusion and a dark colored midsize SUV. The accident, I know it's a tragic thing, but it can be happen. But he could have been saved if they called the police, if they waited. But while police are actively searching for the drivers, family and friends are remembering Maksudur for who he was. A lover of his two wheels. He loved his bike. Yeah, that was one thing. We always talked about like him getting a car or something, but he always said he loved his bike. He loved riding it. A hardworking, happy man. When he come in inside the restaurant and he talk to me all the time nicely and hello, how are you everybody? And after he start work and he's smiling and he's happy person. And a father who meant everything to his family he's been like a like a a statue for us yeah and when his son mentions a statue he's talking about this being the head of the family essentially the rock Don and his father loved that bike and his son actually bought him that bike and he had said that his father had all these different types of reflective vests flashing lights just to make sure that he was safe he mentioned that his father's known in the community as the guy that is always on the bike. Well, Voorhees police say that this is an active investigation and they say if you have any information in regards to this case, to contact them immediately. Dawn. All right, Greg. So sad. Hopefully they catch the person who hit him and left the scene. Thank you.
