A 60-year-old man's life came to a tragic end after his bicycle collided with a car in Rocky Mount last night. As reported by CBS17, the Rocky Mount Police Department said officers arrived at the scene on the 700 block of Fairview Road following a collision at approximately 8:45 p.m. There they discovered the bicyclist already lifeless, his days of pedaling through the roads abruptly cut short, pronounced dead where he lay.
Details given are scant as the authorities have opted to keep his identity undisclosed, according to CBS17. In an effort to give due respect to the bereaved, his name will not be made public until such a time as his family can be duly notified. As investigations continue to piece together the events of that night, the crash's circumstances remain under close scrutiny by the Rocky Mount police department's traffic crash reconstruction unit.
Adding to the available pieces of this grim puzzle, WRAL reports a similar account, noting the fatal crash transpired on the 700 block of Fairview Road. The man, whose life ended abruptly in the collision, was pronounced dead at the scene, the same detail disclosed by CBS17.
Striving to thoroughly investigate the crash, Rocky Mount police have yet to provide further insights into how such a tragedy came to pass.
