Pineville, North Carolina
A Pineville man was killed Sunday when he turned the bicycle he was riding into the path of an SUV.
Shortly before 1:30 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash on US 165 south of Woodworth.
The initial investigation revealed a bicycle, ridden by 77-year-old Frankie Joseph Hooper Jr, was traveling southbound on the shoulder of US 165. For reasons still under investigation, Hooper Jr. attempted to turn left from the southbound shoulder onto Booker Fowler Road. This action placed the bicycle in the direct travel path of a southbound 2011 Ford Escape, which resulted in a collision.
