Bicyclist killed by truck in Charles North; driver sought
A 67-year-old bicyclist was killed Tuesday morning in Baltimore's Charles North neighborhood after he became entangled in the rear wheels of a white box truck, said a city police spokesman.Police, who said the truck driver left the scene and was probably unaware of the accident, are seeking the truck with unknown tags.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the truck was southbound on Maryland Avenue at 11:38 a.m. and was making a right turn onto West Lafayette Avenue when the biker, who was directly behind the truck, struck the truck's right rear wheels and became entangled in the wheels.
Agent Donny Moses, another police spokesman, identified the bicyclist Wednesday as John R. Yates of the 2800 block of Maryland Ave. in Baltimore. Medics pronounced Yates dead at the scene. He suffered massive trauma to his abdomen area and to his left leg, according to Moses.
