A 70-year-old bicyclist was struck and killed Monday in a collision with a vehicle in Huntington Beach.
The crash was reported about 11:50 a.m. Monday near Pacific Coast Highway just north of Newland Street, involving a white Subaru Impreza and the cyclist, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department.
Responding officers found the victim unconscious in the roadway, police said. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Police said the Subaru driver, 20-year-old Huntington Beach man, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Drugs or alcohol did not appear to have been a factor for the driver, though it remains unclear whether the bicyclist may have been impaired, police said.
According to investigators, the bicyclist was traveling southbound on PCH before merging into traffic and attempting to turn east onto Newland Street when the collision occurred. The Subaru was also traveling southbound on PCH.
The crash was being investigated by the department’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team.
