Joseph Paratore, a 40-year-old father and avid cyclist from Perth, died on Tuesday morning after being struck by an unknown vehicle in a suspected hit-and-run incident on North Lake Road in Bibra Lake at about 5:20 AM. Police identified the victim as Paratore later that day, confirming he was riding his bike when the collision occurred and died from injuries sustained at the scene.
Police launched a search for the driver of a white 4WD vehicle sighted near the time and location of the crash. On Thursday night, authorities arrested a 40-year-old Yangebup man who was charged with failing to stop after an incident occasioning death and failure to report an incident occasioning death. The suspect’s Toyota Prado is now part of the investigation.
Paratore had recently completed a 200km charity ride for cancer research, raising funds for medical research. He was described by friends as a devoted father who embraced cycling to improve his health and well-being. His death marks the sixth cycling-related fatality in Western Australia this year.
