There’s been a development overnight in the search for the alleged driver behind the wheel of a hit-and-run clash that claimed the life of a cyclist in Bibra Lake on Tuesday morning.
Police have arrested a 40-year-old Yangebup man in Yangebup overnight, ending a two-day manhunt after cyclist Joseph Paratore, 40, was struck and killed while riding on North Lake Road around 5.20am.
Major Crash investigators have charged the Yangebup man with one count of failing to stop after an incident occasioning death, and one count of failing to report an incident occasioning death.
The Toyota Prado allegedly involved in the incident has been seized and towed to a Major Crash yard in Midland. It will now form part of the investigation.
