Bicyclist Killed in Collision with Car on State Road 100 in Bunnell

A tragic accident occurred on Monday night in Bunnell, Florida, resulting in the death of a 50-year-old Palm Coast man. The incident took place on State Road 100 just west of Commerce Parkway when the cyclist collided with a car. At this time, the identity of the deceased has not been released.

The driver of the Gray Elantra involved in the collision, a 77-year-old woman, immediately contacted emergency services after realizing she had hit something. Initially unsure about what she had struck, she soon discovered that it was a severely injured cyclist lying lifeless on the street. According to reports from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the cyclist was crossing State Road 100 from north to south while the woman was traveling westbound. Unfortunately, he failed to yield right-of-way and was subsequently struck by her vehicle.

Tragically, it has been reported that at the time of impact, the cyclist was not wearing a helmet. A nurse who happened to be passing by stopped and provided immediate assistance but sadly noted that he wasn't breathing. Paramedics arrived shortly after and pronounced him dead at the scene within minutes of their arrival.

The driver of the Elantra did not sustain any physical injuries during this unfortunate incident. However, as per standard procedure for such cases in Flagler County, law enforcement authorities closed down all westbound lanes on State Road 100 while they conducted an investigation into what transpired.
