Lutz man killed riding bicycle on U.S. 19

SPRING HILL -- A man riding a bicycle was killed on U.S. 19 south of Cortez Boulevard early Wednesday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Trooper V.G. Rodriguez said a 48-year-old Lutz man, Scott Chris Donley, was driving north on U.S. 19 at about 4 a.m. when he crested over a small hill. He saw a man on a bicycle but was not able to stop in time. The cyclist died. The FHP did not release the man's name Wednesday. Rodriguez said she is still investigating and does not know if charges will be filed in the incident. The man's death was the 10th on Hernando County roads this year.
