    A driver fatally struck a bicyclist at a Tampa intersection on Monday, deputies said.

    The crash happened about 7:26 a.m. at the intersection of Bearss Avenue and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies found the cyclist, a 65-year-old man, on the ground when they arrived. He died at the scene.

    The driver who hit the man told investigators she had a green light and did not see the cyclist as he was trying to cross the street.

    A sheriff’s office spokesperson said deputies will release the cyclist’s name after his family is notified.

    No other details have been released.
