Topeka, KANSAS (WIBW) -- A bicyclist is dead after a collision with an SUV Saturday night. The Shawnee County Sheriff's Office says the accident happened around 9:45 p.m. at NW Highway 24 and Goodyear Road.
Law enforcement has been unable to find the family of the victim, so no identification can be released at this time. He is a white male.
The Toyota 4-Runner overtook the cyclist from the rear. It has been reported by the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office the bicyclist did not have any lights or reflectors on the bike.
A child from the SUV was treated for a cut and released.
The driver submitted to an alcohol test, which is normal procedure. The results are not back yet. The investigation continues.
