Daytona Beach, FL (July 30, 2019) - A bicyclist died after falling off of his bicycle and into oncoming traffic in Daytona Beach. The crash took place on Saturday, July 27th, around 3:00 p.m.
Police responded to International Speedway Boulevard in response to the crash. Once on-scene, police identified the bicyclist as 37-year-old Coy Thomas Malone. Investigators determined that Malone was riding his bicycle when the chain became loose. As he stood up to pedal faster, he lost control of the bike and fell into the roadway. Malone was struck by an oncoming vehicle. The vehicle then ran over Malone and his bicycle. Malone was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. No one else was injured and the driver has not been identified.
An investigation into the incident is still ongoing at this time.
