Surrey cyclist dead after collision with car

Driver cooperating with investigation; drugs and alcohol don't appear to be involved.

A cyclist struck by a car in Surrey Thursday night died of his injuries.

Surrey RCMP said police received several 911 calls about a bike and car colliding in the area of 108 Avenue and 142 Street at about 10:10 p.m. Sept. 3.

Police say a dark-coloured Ford Escape was driving westbound on 108 Avenue when it struck the man on the bike.

The man was thrown from the bike and seriously injured. He died later in hospital.

The driver of the SUV remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. It’s not believed alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash.
