Bicyclist fatally hit by SUV outside Bremerton

A bicycle rider has been fatally injured in a collision at a rural intersection northwest of Bremerton.

BREMERTON, Wash. —

A bicycle rider has been fatally injured in a collision at a rural intersection northwest of Bremerton.

Kitsap County sheriff's deputies say 69-year-old James McClurkan was wearing a helmet when he was hit by a 2003 Nissan Murano at 1 p.m. Saturday near Wildcat Lake. He flew onto the SUVÂÂ's hood and windshield, rolled off on the driver's side and landed in a drainage ditch.

A nursing supervisor at Tacoma General Hospital says McClurkan died early Sunday.

Deputies say there are no signs that McClurkan or the SUV driver, a 47-year-old woman who lives in the area, had consumed alcohol or other drugs. Deputies also say excessive speed was not a factor.

Investigators are asking that anyone who witnessed the crash or has information on it contact the sheriff's office.
