Cyclist killed in crash with semitrailer at construction site

DEVER (KDVR) — A woman riding a bicycle died Monday evening in Fort Collins after a semitrailer at a road construction project hit her, according to Fort Collins Police Services. The crash happened just after 6 p.m. Monday on Mulberry Street at Whedbee Street, police said. The cyclist was going from the north side of the road to the south side when the semitrailer hit her. A construction project is ongoing at that part of Mulberry Street, police said, and the semitrailer was part of the construction project. Other construction personnel were at the scene when the crash happened as well. “This was a traumatic incident for not only those involved, but also those who witnessed the scene," Sergeant David Lindsay who oversees the CRASH team investigating, said. "Our Investigators are working to get answers for all those involved, and our victim advocate team has responded to help provide assistance." The driver did stay at the scene, and investigators are still trying to figure out what led up to the crash. Anyone who witnessed this incident and has not already spoken to police can contact Officer Matt Brede, at (970) 221-6842.
