The cyclist was crossing South Havana Street in the 700 block at about 1:55 a.m. Thursday, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
He was outside of the crosswalk when he was hit by a GMC Yukon driving north on Havana, police said in the release.
The cyclist, who died from his injuries at the scene of the crash, will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.
Investigators believe both speed and alcohol were factors in the crash, police said.
