Three people are in custody following a hit-and-run crash involving a cyclist in Edinburg on Tuesday night.

In a news release, police said officers responded to 21st Avenue and University Drive shortly after 9 p.m. after a man riding a bike was hit by a gray Chevrolet Silverado that fled the scene.

“Shortly after the incident, an adult male suspect contacted Edinburg PD officers, admitting his involvement in the accident,” the release stated.

Police identified the suspect as Robert Brown, 19. They also said that Brown, along with several involved parties, cooperated. He is charged with accident involving serious bodily injury.

Police also arrested Juan Taylor, 19, and Jaeden Servantez, 18, on charges of failure to report a felony.

They are expected to appear in Edinburg Municipal Court for an initial hearing Wednesday afternoon.
