The incident happened on August 14th, at around 6:05 a.m., in Tenaya and Centennial Parkway. According to investigators, the rider was traveling northbound on Tenaya in the official bike lane north of Centennial Parkway. The collision occurred when the front of the Hyundai connected with the bicyclist’s rear. The bicyclist was thrown forward onto the road.
