2 cyclists struck, killed in Pilot Point

Two bicyclists died Saturday after they were struck by a vehicle on FM 455 East near Fritcher Road in Pilot Point.

Authorities responded to the scene around 8:19 a.m. after several callers reported the crash. EMS crews from Pilot Point and Celina provided life‑saving efforts to both victims.

One bicyclist was taken to Celina Methodist Hospital, where he later died. The second was airlifted to Medical City Plano and also died from his injuries.

Police said the driver of the vehicle drove a short distance after the crash, but quickly returned to the area before officers arrived, and has been cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
