An investigation is underway after a bicyclist was struck and killed in Cleveland on Wednesday morning.

Cleveland police say a truck struck the bicyclist near West 114th Street and Franklin Boulevard just before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

EMS pronounced the victim dead at the scene.

The Cleveland Police Department said the driver who hit the bicyclist remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.

“I’ve seen a lot of close calls, and something needs to change at this intersection,” said Samantha Touarti, a woman who lives nearby.

Touarti said the intersection where the deadly accident happened has been problematic for years.

“It’s common for people to speed through a red light. I’ve had people go around me when I’m stopped at a red light just to run it, and it happens all the time,” Touarti said.

There is no immediate profit in safe bike lanes, and cars are king.

One day it will sink in....

Only ride your bike on busy roads if it's absolutely necessary, not for fun.

If it’s that dangerous then don’t bike there.
