crash happened <\/a>on Woodward Avenue just north of College Avenue on June 18, just before 1 p.m.<\/p>\nThe Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office said a 33-year-old Ferndale man was traveling north on the sidewalk on the east side of Woodward Avenue. At the same time, authorities said a Road Commission for Oakland County truck was traveling north on Woodward Avenue near College Avenue.<\/p>\n
The truck tried to turn into a private driveway, coming into the path of the e-bike, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. The Ferndale man was then run over by the truck.<\/p>\n
Witnesses reported seeing an Oakland County Road Commission vehicle turn right onto College Street and strike the cyclist while he was riding in the bike lane near the vacant Tim Horton\u2019s. However, the sheriff\u2019s office said the cyclist was riding on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
The Ferndale man died at the scene. The driver of the truck, a 44-year-old from Waterford Township, was not injured, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.<\/p>\n
Drugs or alcohol were not factors in the crash, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.<\/p>\n
