A 60-year-old bicyclist was killed in a crash in the Florida Keys Saturday morning that caused about four hours of partial closures on a major highway, authorities said. Around 10:30 a.m., the bicyclist, who was not identified, was stopped in the left turn lane on US-1 near 39th Street in Marathon, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
A pickup truck, driven by a 44-year-old man, was stopped at the intersection of 39th Street and Gulf Avenue.
The bicyclist began to cross the lanes of U.S. 1 trying to reach the shoulder, when the pickup truck driver made a right turn at the same time, the report read. The truck hit the bicyclist, who died, authorities said. U.S. 1 was partially blocked for about four hours following the crash.
