KENT COUNTY, Del.- A Pennsylvania man was killed after he was hit by a truck while riding his bike Saturday morning in the Camden Wyoming area.
Delaware State Police say that a group of bicyclists were riding in two rows going northbound on Apple Grove School Rd. away from Allabands Mill Rd. around 8:30 a.m. At the same time, a 2012 gray GMC Sierra was going southbound on Apple Grove School Rd.
Larry Yarbray of Chester, PA, 51, was riding his bike in the inside row, closest to the solid yellow line. The bicyclist in front of him began to slow down, and his front wheel hit the back wheel of the bike in front of him. He then lost control and swerved to his left into the southbound lane, just as the truck was approaching.
The front left side of the truck, hit the front right of Yarbray near the center of the southbound lane.
Yarbray was then forced under the truck and came to a stop on the grassy shoulder of the southbound lane.
The man was severely injured and taken by ambulance to Bayhealth Kent Campus where he died.
The 23-year-old driver of the truck was not injured.
Apple Grove School Rd. was closed to traffic for about 3.5 hours while the crash was investigated, and the roadway was cleared.
