WARREN (WWJ) -- Warren police have arrested a driver involved in a hit-and-run crash that killed a man riding his bike.

On Tuesday morning, around 5 a.m., a 47-year-old Madison Heights man was riding his bike eastbound in the right lane of 13 Mile Road when he was struck by a black Dodge Ram between Heritage Parkway and Mound Road, just east of Ryan.

Investigators say an anonymous tip led them to a home less than a mile away in Warren where they found a black Dodge Ram with a damaged front end.

Police say the man living there confessed to being the hit-and-run driver.

He was taken into custody. Charges are pending.
