The bicyclist who died after being hit by a vehicle Tuesday, Nov. 21, on Route 19 at St. Francis Way in Cranberry Township was identified by officials.

The Allegheny County Medical examiner identified the victim as Arron Jones, 22, of Cranberry Township.

The crash occurred in the northbound lane of Route 19 around 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, Cranberry Township police Chief Kevin Meyer said Wednesday morning.

A preliminary investigation indicates the male bicyclist was hit from behind at the time of the collision, Meyer said. The driver of the vehicle was cooperative on scene, he added.

“There’s nothing to indicate this was anything other than a horrible accident,” Meyer said Wednesday.

Meyer said the bicyclist was transported to Allegheny General Hospital by ambulance where he succumbed to his injuries.

Traffic was reduced to one lane as police investigated the crash.

Cranberry Township police are still investigating the crash and said they will not be releasing information about the driver or the bicyclist at this time, according to Meyer.

Cranberry Township police, volunteer fire company and EMS services responded to the scene.
