Police say a truck towing a pro racing speedboat killed a man in the Keys, then took off

A bicyclist was killed in a hit-and-run crash with a truck towing a professional racing speedboat Saturday night in the Florida Keys.

The 47-year-old man was the second cyclist killed that day in the Keys. Another person, Albert Joseph Mello, Jr., 69, died after being hit by a car while riding a bike on North Roosevelt Boulevard in Key West.

The Monroe County Medical Examiner identified the person who died Saturday night as Manrique Cordoba. He was struck by what the Florida Highway Patrol describes as “a large truck pulling a power boat on a trailer,” which was heading south down Third Street on Stock Island around 9 p.m.

The large speedboats are in the Keys this week for the annual Race World Offshore Key West Offshore World Championship races. Representatives with the racing league did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the crash.

Lt. Kathleen McKinney, FHP subdistrict commander for the Florida Keys, said a traffic homicide investigator is trying to obtain video footage from the scene and speak to additional witnesses.

The FHP said in a news release Monday that the truck continued traveling south on Third Street after hitting the person on the bike. Witnesses did not get a license plate number.

Cordoba died after being taken to Lower Keys Medical Center shortly after 10 p.m., according to the FHP.

Police have so far been unable to notify his family “due to not having any information on file and no known family members,” troopers said.
