A 63-year-old man riding a bicycle was killed in West Monroe Thursday afternoon after he and a pickup truck collided at an intersection.
The crash occurred about 4:10 p.m. on June 4 at the intersection of Cypress Street (U.S. 80) and North 7th Street, according to West Monroe Police.
The preliminary investigation revealed cyclist Donald Conway was traveling east on Cypress Street and was crossing the intersection. At the same time, a 2014 GMC pickup truck was traveling north on North 7th Street in the outside lane.
Another motorist was stopped at the red traffic signal in the inside northbound lane of North 7th Street. As the GMC truck approached the intersection, the traffic signal changed from red to green. Conway was still crossing the intersection on his bicycle and passed in front of the stopped witness vehicle. As he entered the outside northbound lane, the GMC proceeded through the intersection and struck him.
Conway was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from injuries sustained in the crash.
West Monroe Police say the investigation is still underway.
