A bicyclist was struck by a military truck and killed Monday evening in a collision connected with the Nuclear Security Summit, authorities said.
The bicyclist was struck by a 5.5-ton National Guard truck about 6 p.m. at New York Avenue and 12th Street NW.
Maj. Gen. Errol Schwartz, commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, said the truck was “pulling forward” to help block the intersection for passage of a motorcade when the incident occurred.
D.C. Chief of Police Cathy L. Lanier said she had been told that authorities believed the victim to be female. No other identifying information was available.
