A late-night crash in Escambia County left a 42-year-old bicyclist from Pace dead on Tuesday after an SUV struck him, according to FHP.
Troopers say the crash happened at about 11:45 p.m. on North W. Street north of Lenox Parkway.
An SUV was traveling south in the southbound outside lane when it came up behind a bicyclist who was also traveling south in the same lane, according to FHP.
Troopers say the driver, a 45-year-old Pensacola man, failed to observe the bicyclist due to low light conditions, and the front of the SUV struck the bicyclist.

The investigation remained ongoing.
