A 64-year-old bicyclist injured in a collision with a car in Berkeley earlier this month died Monday, a police spokeswoman said today. 

The collision occurred on Jan. 13 around 6:45 p.m. at University and McGee avenues, Berkeley police Officer Jennifer Coats said. 

A car hit the bicyclist then fled the scene east on University Avenue, Coats said. 

The vehicle is described as a white or beige four-door sedan with tinted windows, she said. 

The bicyclist was transported to a hospital for serious injuries and passed away Monday, according to Coats. 

He was identified today as Berkeley resident Michael Lake, according to the Alameda County coroner's bureau. 

Anyone with information on the collision is asked to call the Berkeley Police Department's traffic bureau at (510) 981-5900.
