An Irvine man died nearly three weeks after he collided with a car while riding a beach cruiser bike, according to authorities.
The Irvine Police Department said in a news release on Saturday that the collision took place on Thursday, Aug. 1 at about 1:18 p.m.
The man, identified as 61-year-old Scott Andrew Morris, was riding the bike northbound on MacArthur in the right turn lane of the I-405 on-ramp when he suddenly turned to his left. Police said his handlebars collided with the passenger-side door and mirror of a Chevrolet Suburban.
Morris, who wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time, was ejected from the bike. He was immediately transported to a local hospital with head injuries. The driver of the Suburban stayed at the scene and cooperated with police in their investigation.
Morris died on Thursday, police confirmed.
No additional details were immediately made available.
