TOWSON, MD — A fatal crash occurred in Towson overnight involving a bicyclist, according to the Baltimore County Police Department. Officials are continuing to look for the vehicle that initially hit the cyclist.

"Charles Street is a four-lane road, and Laciny was riding his bicycle in the left lane, nearest to the double yellow line," police said in a statement.
