Murray City police spokeswoman Kristen Reardon said the bicyclist was traveling west on Vine Street at the intersection with Cottonwood Street just west of Intermountain Medical Center at 6:42 a.m. when he was hit by a vehicle headed north on Cottonwood Street.

No other information about the victim was released by police Monday.

The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene of the accident and cooperated with the investigation, Reardon said.
