BALDWIN PARK >> A man died after being struck by car while riding his bike along Baldwin Park Boulevard late Thursday, authorities said.
The collision was first reported just before 9:25 p.m. at Baldwin Park Boulevard and La Rica Avenue, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Kyle Sanford said.
Paramedics pronounced the cyclist dead at the scene, he said.
The bicyclist was believed to be a 30-year-old Baldwin Park man, Baldwin Park police Lt. Mark Adams said. His name was not available pending positive identification and notification of family.
He was crossing Baldwin Park Boulevard in an unknown direction when he collided with a northbound BMW sedan, the lieutenant said.
Officials initially summoned a helicopter to rush the man to a hospital, but cancelled the airship once it became clear he didn’t make it, Sanford said.
The 19-year-old man at the wheel of the BMW remained at the scene and cooperated with police, Adams said. There were no overt signs of DUI, and no arrests or citations were initially made.
Traffic flows unimpeded north and south along Baldwin Park Boulevard at the intersection, while eastbound and westbound traffic on La Rica Avenue is regulated by stop signs.
Police traffic investigators continued working to recreate the collision scene into the early morning hours Friday.
Anyone with information can reach the Baldwin Park Police Department at 626-960-1955.
