Swails, of 18502 Walker Road, was riding on Sunset Lane when he was hit about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday. Investigators said he was wearing dark clothing and had no reflectors on the bicycle. He died at the scene. They said Won Lee, 47, who also lived nearby, tried to swerve, but his Toyota knocked Swails from the bicycle. No charges were filed.
