Orlando man killed in crash while riding bike through Orange County intersection

A 48-year-old Orlando man was killed Monday morning after he was hit by a vehicle while riding a bike through an Orange County intersection, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Just after midnight, a 64-year-old man of Pelion, South Carolina, was driving a truck with a trailer west on Maitland Boulevard and approaching Bear Lake Road while the Orlando man was riding his bike south on Bear Lake, said the FHP’s Lt. Kim Montes.

The Orlando man entered the intersection on a red light and collided with the truck’s right side, Montes said.

The bicyclist was transported to Advent Health Apopka, where he later died, Montes said.

Troopers noted that the Orlando man was not wearing a helmet, Montes said.

The crash remains under investigation.
