A Smyrna man died Thursday night after a vehicle struck him in Cobb County, according to the Smyrna Police Department.

Smyrna Police Spokesman Lt. Louis Defense said the incident happened before 9 p.m. on Windy Hill Road at Village Parkway. The man, who was in his 50s, was riding his bicycle when the vehicle hit him, Defense said.

The man’s name is being withheld at this time.
