According to PCSO, deputies were dispatched around 11:12 p.m. Friday night to Cherry Road, just north of Paul Brown Road.<\/p>

When first responders arrived, both men involved in the crash were transported to the hospital.<\/p>

PCSO said preliminary evidence showed that the bicyclist was traveling north in the southbound lane of Cherry Road, while a 2018 Sanmen Scooter was traveling in a southbound lane when the two collided head-on.<\/p>

The bicyclist suffered blunt force trauma injuries and died shortly after arriving at the hospital, deputies say.<\/p>

While the other victim suffered head trauma and lacerations, and was last reported in critical condition.<\/p>

Neither man was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.<\/p>

What we don’t know:<\/p>

The identities of the victims has not been released, as deputies work to notify next of kin.<\/p>

PCSO said both the scooter and bicycle were equipped with lighting, but it is unclear if the lights were operable at the time of the crash.<\/p>
