A second vehicle traveling behind the first car then struck the first car, causing it to drive over the bicyclist.   Drivers of both vehicles remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.   Neither driver showed signs of intoxication or impairment.  

The investigation is continuing.  No charges are filed at this time.
