KISSIMMEE, Fla. — State troopers continue to search for the driver who struck and killed a cyclist along U.S. 192 Tuesday morning in Kissimmee.
Troopers said Reyes Azamar, 51, was hit by the driver of a four-door Mazda 2006, who then fled on foot.
Family members said Azamar's bicycle was his only means of transportation and that he was on his way to work at the Gaylord Palms Resort, riding in the bike lane when he was killed.

"He took a great life. He took somebody that we cared about," said Azamar's nephew, Christian Lopez.
Lopez described his uncle as a hard worker and a humble person who never deserved what happened to him.
"It wasn't fair for someone that never did any harm, never smoked, never drank, never hurt anybody's feelings," Lopez said.
FHP said after hitting Azamar, the driver struck a light pole and then rear-ended a car.
Lopez said he hopes the driver turns himself in.
"If they don't make justice here, I know God will make justice for what he did," Lopez said.
Channel 9 was there Tuesday as troopers found the vehicles involved riddled with bullets. It's the one key piece of evidence investigators hope will help them catch whoever was behind the wheel.
Troopers said they have identified the drive, though they're not releasing his name. They said he's related to the owner of the car, who is cooperating with police.
