Cyclist Killed By Car On North Side

CHICAGO (STNG) ― A cyclist was struck and killed by a vehicle on the North Side Sunday morning. Matt Manger-Lynch, of 1414 W. Lill Ave., was hit by a vehicle at 4000 N. Lincoln Ave. about 9:15 a.m. Sunday as he was riding his bike. He was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to police News Affairs Officer Marcel Bright.

That address is located near the large three-way intersection of West Irving Park Road and North Damen and North Lincoln avenues.

A spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office confirmed that they had been notified of a death at that address. The spokesman said the victim is a 29-year-old male.

The driver of the vehicle involved in the accident will probably not receive any citations. The cyclist was apparently a part of a group of many cyclists riding in the area and the driver was attempting to avoid other bicycles when he or she struck and killed the victim, Bright said.

The Major Accidents Investigation Unit is probing the crash.
