Bicyclist Struck in Intersection, Killed
A 32-year-old bicyclist was struck and killed by a van Tuesday morning as he was crossing an intersection, police said.

Odo was not wearing a helmet, police said.
“The initial report is that the van was traveling at a slow speed,” White said, adding that the driver was not cited and apparently had broken no traffic laws.
