A 68-year-old man riding his bicycle just outside Spanish Fork was struck and killed Monday morning.

Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Cannon said the victim, identified as Wayne Warner Harwood, of Spanish Fork, was hit by a vehicle traveling southbound on 1200 West near 8000 South about 5:30 a.m. Monday.

Harwood, who was wearing a helmet, died at the scene of the accident despite efforts by paramedics to revive him.

No citations were issued while the cause of the accident was under investigation.

Canyon said it was uncertain which direction Harwood was pedaling when hit by a passenger car in the predawn darkness.
