Cyclist killed in Tooele collision

TOOELE — A Tooele man was killed Sunday night when he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle.

Diego Garcia, 20, was riding his bicycle near the intersection of Pinehurst Avenue and Vine Street when a 70-year-old woman driving a Honda Civic turned onto Vine Street and collided with him about 7:15 p.m., said Tooele Police Lt. Adrian Day. There was no crosswalk at the intersection.

The man was transported to a local hospital by ambulance but died en route. 

Garcia was originally from Guatemala but was most recently living in Tooele, according to police. Investigators did not anticipate any charges would be filed against the driver.
