A 53-year-old bicyclist died Monday evening, October 12, following a collision with an SUV at an intersection in Greeley.
According to the Greeley Police Department, officers responded to the intersection of 11th Avenue and 4th Street at approximately 7:50 p.m. after receiving reports of a crash involving a bicycle and a vehicle.
Investigators determined that the bicyclist was traveling eastbound on 4th Street when he entered the intersection without stopping at a posted stop sign. Police said the bicycle did not have functioning headlights or taillights.
The cyclist was struck by a white Ford Explorer traveling northbound on 11th Avenue. The SUV was driven by a 25-year-old man who was not injured.
Emergency responders attempted lifesaving measures at the scene before transporting the bicyclist to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The Weld County Coroner’s Office will release the victim’s identity after notifying his family.
