The bicyclist fatally injured Wednesday night after being struck by a Dodge Challenger on Antioch Pike at Luna Drive is identified as Jose Salamanca, 43, of Nashville.
The investigation shows that Salamanca was attempting to cross Antioch Pike from east to west when he was struck by the Dodge. The driver, a 16-year-old from Mt. Juliet, appeared to have swerved in an effort to avoid the bike, but could not. The teen was arrested for driving without a license and not having proof of insurance. The investigation is continuing to determine whether speeding was a contributing factor to the collision.
