Police said Santiago, who is a firefighter and life member of Goodwill Hose Company #3 in Bristol, was wearing dark-colored clothing at the time and was found on the right shoulder of the road.
His bike, which had severe damage to the rear tire and wheel, was found nearby. Any vehicle involved is likely to have front-end damage, police said.
"Danny spent his whole life helping everyone else. Bristol is a small-knit community and everybody knows each other, somebody has to have some information. If you do, don't be afraid. Do it for Danny,'' said Deputy Chief David Albright.
