EXETER — A 21-year-old cyclist was in fair condition Monday after receiving what authorities described as serious injuries in a hit-and-run accident Sunday night on Epping Road.
Police said Brian Swaine of Exeter, was struck by a sport utility vehicle while riding along Epping Road shortly after 5 p.m.

Police said the vehicle that struck Swaine's bike fled the scene without stopping, and a nearby witness reported the accident to authorities.
