A 55-year-old man was killed after his bicycle was rear-ended by a pickup truck while he was riding on a roadway in Osceola County.
The fatal accident took place near the intersection of Nova Road and Tram Road at around 7:15 p.m. on Monday, September 4, according to a report by the Florida Highway Patrol.

As a result of the collision, the bicyclist was run off the roadway and onto the westbound grass shoulder.
The driver of the pickup truck, a 47-year-old Orlando man, and his passenger, a 43-year-old Orlando man, were not injured in the accident.
The bicyclist was transported to Osceola Regional Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
