A 55-year-old bicyclist was killed in a collision with a dump truck on Pineapple Avenue last week, and police are looking for anyone who might have witnessed the incident.

The man, who police did not identify publicly, died at Sarasota Memorial Hospital after the 9 a.m. Nov. 3 crash. In a release, police said the man on the bicycle was riding north on Pineapple Avenue when he collided with a westbound dump truck on Ringling Boulevard.
