    US Police have made an arrest in a fatal hit-and-run case after an obscure part of a car headlight was identified by a social media user.

    On Thursday 9 August, Washington State Police appealed on Twitter for information after a cyclist was hit by an unidentified black vehicle.

    Officers shared a photograph of a small piece of metal recovered at the scene.

    However, it was after the image was posted to Reddit that a breakthrough came.

    The photograph was shared in the sub-Reddit “WhatIsThisThing”, which is dedicated to determining obscure objects, plants and animals.
