Park City man dies after bike crash

PARK CITY — A 22-year-old Park City man died Wednesday night after falling from his bicycle, police said.

The man was riding home with his roommate around 10 p.m. after a dinner on Main Street when he "collided with the roadway after falling from the bicycle," said Park City Police Capt. Phil Kirk.

Police said the two riders were traveling downhill on Deer Valley Drive near Aerie Drive when the man's roommate rode ahead of his friend, preventing him from seeing what happened in the accident.

Kirk said the man was not wearing a helmet. When police arrived on the scene, the man was unconscious in the roadway with "severe injuries," Kirk said. The man was immediately transported by ambulance to University Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

The accident is still under investigation, Kirk said, but police have no indication there was a motor vehicle involved.

Police are waiting to identify the man until they can notify his family, who live out of state.
