BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) - A bicyclist who died after being hit by a car in Bellevue on Wednesday has been identified.

The Seattle Times reports 33-year-old James Ralph died Thursday of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The Bellevue Police Department says Ralph was riding a bike on Northeast Eighth Street at 132nd Avenue Northeast when he was struck by a turning driver.
