A man riding a bicycle was hit by a vehicle as he tried to cross York Street around 8:35 p.m. Monday. That crash threw him into the northbound lane, where he was hit by another vehicle.

He then became trapped underneath the second vehicle.

The bicyclist, identified as 56-year-old James Hicks, was pronounced dead at the scene due to blunt force injuries, according to the coroner's office. Results from toxicology analysis are pending at this time.
