Less than five minutes later, a green Kia entered the bike lane to pass another vehicle, and ran over and killed the 48-year-old man, according to police.
It happened on Rising Sun Avenue, near the intersection of Olney Avenue, Thursday.
The car has been towed to a police impound lot.
Investigators tell Action News they have also found a person they believe was the driver.
The officer has since been placed on administrative leave and is accused of failing to report the incident and failing to assist a person in need.
There is no word on whether the person believed to be the driver of the Kia will face any charges.
