A bicyclist was fatally struck by a vehicle Thursday evening in southwest suburban Tinley Park.
The 52-year-old man was riding a bike about 5:55 p.m. when he was hit by the car as it drove north on Harlem Avenue near 185th Street, according to Pat Carr, assistant village manager for Tinley Park.
The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, Carr said.
The man, identified as Douglas M. Demott of Palos Heights, was pronounced dead on scene at 6:07 p.m., according to Carr and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. An autopsy Friday ruled his death an accident.
The incident remains under investigation, Carr said.
