BOONEVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) - A man is dead after a pickup truck struck the bicycle he was riding.

The crash happened before 8 p.m. Monday on South Second Street in Booneville.

Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey said the bicyclist was traveling south on the edge of the northbound lane.

It appears to have been an accident, the police chief added.

Ramey would not identify the individual who was killed, but described the individual as a man in his mid-20s originally from Corinth.

Prentiss County Coroner Greg Sparks later identified the victim as Alex Scott Duke, 24. Sparks said Duke lived in Booneville. No foul play is suspected.
