LAS CRUCES, NM - A bicyclist has died of his injuries following a collision with a vehicle in Las Cruces last week, KTSM reports.
The victim was identified as 50-year-old David Mancha. The accident happened in the area of Solano Drive and Lohman Avenue June 28 at about 7 a.m.
An investigation indicated that Mancha was going west on the Lohman sidewalk when he attempted to cross Solano Drive and continued through the intersection, where he was struck by a southbound SUV.
Mancha was airlifted to University Medical Center in El Paso and was later pronounced dead.
