LMPD spokesperson Aaron Ellis said police responded to a report of a crash just before 6 p.m. near the intersection of Dixie Highway and Blanton Lane.
Early investigation shows a vehicle was heading north on Dixie Highway and had the green light at the intersection of Blanton Lane when, for some unknown reason, a man on a bicycle tried to cross near the crosswalk. The bicyclist was then hit by the vehicle, according to police.
The driver stopped and immediately called for assistance. EMS and Pleasure Ridge Park Fire responded to the scene.
Ellis said the man was taken to UofL Hospital with life-threatening injuries where he later died.
No other vehicles were involved and no charges are expected. LMPD’s Traffic Unit is handling the ongoing investigation.
