A bicyclist was struck and killed by a driver Monday on Interstate 15 at West Bernardo Drive.

Officials say the victim appears to be male. The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office has been called. 

Investigators are looking for a white truck with front end damage in what they believe may be a hit and run incident. 

CHP officers were checking area and off ramps to see if a truck was abandoned.
A SigAlert has been issued until at least 9 or 9:30 a.m. 

California Highway Patrol officers diverted northbound traffic onto HOV lanes at Camino del Norte. As of 7:30 a.m., traffic was flowing smoothly along the HOV lanes near the crash scene.
