A crash on Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville has killed a bicyclist.

The wreck happened around 2:40 p.m. Wednesday off of Mt. View Road in Antioch.

According to reports, 60-year-old Michael David Wilson of Antioch was killed after he was hit by a vehicle.

Police said the bicyclist was off his bike, pushing it in the middle turn lane. That's when he allegedly darting across the road and was hit by a Honda SUV.

Officials said the driver of the SUV 36-year-old Kartan Riad remained on scene and was cooperating.
