A cyclist struck by a pickup truck last week has died of his injuries, according to a City of Boulder press release.

Just before 9 a.m. Monday Aug. 4, Boulder police responded to a call on Edgewood and 24th streets for a reported crash between the cyclist and a Chevrolet Silverado.

The cyclist, Daniel Bench, 88, was taken to the hospital after suffering serious injuries in the crash. He was pronounced dead Monday night.
