A 19-year-old man died Monday night when he was hit by a vehicle after falling off a bicycle and into the path of oncoming traffic on McAfee Road in DeKalb County, police said.
DeAnthony Tyson was a passenger on a bicycle being driven “just off the curb” by Terrius Roberts, DeKalb police Capt. Stephen Fore told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“The bicyclists lost control and fell into the path of the vehicle,” he said in an email.
Tyson died at the scene of the 7:40 p.m. accident, according to Fore.
He said Roberts, also 19, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life threatening.
The driver of the vehicle stopped, and is not facing any charges, according to police.
