Driver Hits & Kills Bicyclist In Downtown Spokane

There's been another vehicle-bicycle accident- only this one was fatal to the bicyclist. Scott Reckord was driving a pickup headed north on Division last night around 6:30 p.m. and turned left to go west on Sprague apparently. He collided with a bicyclist in the crosswalk there.

The bicyclist was taken to a hospital where he died. He has not been identified at this point.

Reckord left the scene, but later returned and was booked into jail on vehicular homicide and felony hit and run charges after failing a field sobriety test.
