The LAPD is investigating a car-on-bike crash that killed a bicyclist at 9:15 this morning on PCH at Temescal Canyon. Authorities believe the car swerved into the bike lane.
CBS reports that the cyclist was pronounced dead at a hospital.
We first heard about this incident in LAPD tweets from Capt. Brian Thomas.
WLA and WTD at the scene of fatal TC at #PCH & Temescal Canyon. Remember bikes must obey rules of the road & vehicles must slow down.
