Investigators believe the cyclist was in easternmost lane of a three-lane, southbound road — and furthest away from the shoulder.
Police continue to investigate. They do not believe speed or impairment were factors in the crash. No charges are pending.
Late Friday afternoon, EPS said the cyclist was in critical condition.
