SALT LAKE CITY — A bicyclist was hit by a vehicle and killed Monday in Orem, police said.
The cyclist, a 28-year-old man, was riding west on University Parkway at 5:17 p.m. when he fell off his bike and into traffic at 900 W. University Parkway, according to a statement from Orem police.
A vehicle traveling to the man's left "had no time to swerve and hit the male when he fell, causing multiple injuries," police said.
The bicyclist was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, where he died. His name has not yet been released.
The driver of the vehicle that hit him and other witnesses cooperated with the investigation, police said.
The area closed to traffic for several hours while police investigated the incident.
