VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A man has died after a crash involving a bicyclist in Virginia Beach earlier this month, police say.
Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) said on Tuesday that they are investigating an incident that left a man dead. Officials say on November 14, a little before 3:45 p.m., officers responded to the 5000 block of Indian River Road.
Their investigations so far revealed that the bicyclist, 49-year-old Colin Sutton of Virginia Beach, left the sidewalk on Indian River Road and didn't yield to traffic. He was then hit by a vehicle.
Sutton was taken to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the vehicle was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Police say they do not anticipate any charges in the incident.
“On behalf of the Virginia Beach Police Department, I offer my condolences to Mr. Sutton’s family and friends,” said VBPD Chief Paul Neudigate. “As we are seeing an increase in injury crashes where the bicyclist and/or pedestrian is the causative factor, I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage both pedestrians and cyclists to pay strict attention to traffic signals, to use marked crosswalks, and to use extreme caution while crossing roadways.”
Police did not release any other details about the circumstances of the crash.
