RIVERBANK, Calif. — Riverbank Police Services need the public's help finding a teenager who they believe witnessed a fatal crash Wednesday. 

According to a Facebook post from police, a teenager was riding a bike on Claribel Road around 2:30 a.m. when the teen was hit by a car. 

Police say the teenage victim died from injuries sustained in the collision. The driver of the vehicle called 9-1-1 and stayed with officers throughout the investigation. 

Drugs or alcohol are not suspected as a factor in the crash, according to police.
