A 60-year-old cyclist has died after he was struck by a vehicle in the municipality of Clarington on Sunday morning.

Durham Regional Police say the accident happened just before 11 a.m. at the intersection of Bloor Street and Solina Road.

According to a police news release, a group of eight cyclists had been heading west along Bloor Street and intended to turn left onto Solina Road.

A westbound Pontiac Vibe attempted to pass the group in the adjacent eastbound lane. As that was happening, police say that one of the cyclists "suddenly turned" into the path of the Pontiac.

Police say the cyclist died en route to hospital. His name has not been released, but police say he is from Bowmanville.

The 21-year-old woman driving the vehicle was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The collision remains under investigation. No charges have been laid so far.

Police say road conditions were favourable when the cyclist was struck.
