A Sparks bicyclist died after being hit by a car on Prater Way at I-80 late last month.

Nevada State Police say a Volkswagen Atlas SUV was heading west on Prater Way on April 27th just after 5 p.m. when the driver tried to make a left turn onto the I-80 east on-ramp. That's when the bicyclist, identified as 67-year-old Lewis Leonard, failed to stop and was hit by the Atlas, throwing Leonard off his bike.

Leonard was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died.

NSP says the unidentified driver stayed on scene and is cooperating with law enforcement.

The crash remains under investigation.
