A bicyclist died Saturday after a car struck him in Millcreek.

Kevin Bushman, 51, was riding eastbound on 3300 South when a black BMW — also traveling eastbound — struck him near 1600 East, said Unified Police Detective Ken Hansen.

Bushman, who was not wearing a helmet, died at the scene.

The crash occurred about 1 a.m., and that stretch of 3300 South is not well lit, Hansen said. The driver of the BMW apparently did not see Bushman, he added.

Bushman was an avid bicyclist and there were lights on the bike, but the detective said it is unclear whether they were working.

The crash was still under investigation.
