Fort Worth woman identified as motorist in Grand Prairie fatal hit-and-run, police say

An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for a Fort Worth woman accused of driving a car Sunday morning that hit and killed a bicyclist.

Kallie Wright is accused of getting out of her car after striking the bicyclist, but she got back into her vehicle and drove away.

Wright, 38, who faces a second-degree felony charge of accident involving death remained at large Tuesday.

Police said the vehicle wanted in connection with the fatal hit-and-run had been located. The bicyclist who died at the scene was Calvin John Middleton, 42, of Cedar Hill.

A passenger in Wright’s car also has been identified, but she is not considered a suspect and no charges will be filed against her, police said Tuesday.

Middleton was hit and killed by a car about 6 a.m. Sunday at South Belt Line Road at Interstate 20 eastbound frontage road.

The car fled the scene northbound on South Belt Line Road.

On Tuesday afternoon, the B&B Bicycle company based in Cedar Hill, posted a photo to their Facebook page asking community members to add their own mementos a ghost bike sitting at the southeast corner of I-20 and Beltline Road in memory of Middleton.

Just after the accident, witnesses reported to police that the driver of the car was a female wearing a pink shirt, khaki shorts and pink tennis shoes, police said. Another woman was a passenger.
