GREELEY, Colo. – On Friday, September 4, at approximately 4:45 p.m., Greeley Police officers responded to a traffic collision at the intersection of 11th Avenue and 10th Street.

According to a preliminary investigation, a 58-year-old man driving a semi-truck was traveling northbound on 11th Avenue and turning eastbound onto 10th Street. As the semi-truck turned, a 32-year-old man riding an e-bike accelerated to pass the truck unlawfully on its right side in the same lane. The front passenger side of the semi-truck subsequently struck the e-cyclist.

First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. His name will be released by the Weld County Coroner’s Office pending next-of-kin notification.

No charges are currently pending against the driver of the semi-truck.

One eastbound lane of 10th Street was closed for approximately six hours while officers investigated.
