A passer-by told The Scanner that it appeared that the cyclist may have been exiting the driveway near Cafenated Coffee Company, at 2085 Vine St., when a driver in a green Subaru, who was westbound on Vine, hit the cyclist and dog.
Police had not confirmed those details as of publication time.
The Scanner will share additional information when it becomes available.
