A 15-year-old bicyclist was fatally struck by a vehicle last weekend in Coon Rapids, authorities say.

According to the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, Isaiah Lewis Whitlock, of Ramsey, was driving a dirt bike on the sidewalk of Northdale Boulevard Northwest around 4:40 p.m. Sunday when he swerved onto the road at the Marigold Street Northwest. He was hit by a pickup truck heading in the opposite direction.

Whitlock was declared dead at the scene. The pickup driver, a 53-year-old Oak Grove man, was not injured.

The collision remains under investigation, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday.

Two other bicyclists were also killed last weekend in separate collisions with pickup trucks in central Minnesota.
