Investigators are seeking public assistance in identifying the driver in an apparent hit-and-run crash Monday that killed a motorcyclist in Tempe.

Michael Trousdale, 49, of Gilbert, died after his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle Monday afternoon on U. S. 60, according to authorities. The other driver then fled the scene, the Arizona Department of Public Safety told local media outlets.
