Deputies are investigating a fatal hit-and-run in Tacoma Monday morning, believing the incident may have been intentional, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

At about 7:50 a.m., deputies responded to a call involving a vehicle and a bicyclist in the 11000 block of Waller Road East.
