Officials with the Maitland Fire Department say that Dr. Robert Dalton, Jr., 56, was riding a bicycle on US Highway 17-92 when he was struck by a passing vehicle. Authorities provided few details on how the crash took place. At this time, they have not released information on the vehicle or driver involved and it is not clear if any charges are being issued.
