Teen Cyclist Struck, Killed

A 14-year-old was riding his bike on Front Street near Grand Avenue early Saturday morning when he crossed into another lane and collided with a car.

The teenager was pronounced dead a short time later, according to police spokesman Officer Joe Avery.

Avery said the collision happened at around 12:15 a.m. on Saturday. A black four-door vehicle hit the cyclist when he was crossing a lane that had been narrowed by the snow, Avery said. The driver then fled the scene in the car. The teenager was pronounced dead at 12:43 a.m.

Police identified the victim as Keyshawn Moore of Orchard Street.

An accident reconstruction team is investigating and police are seeking witnesses. Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call (203) 946‑6316 or (203) 946‑6304.
