Martin D. Gasber, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical responders after he was thrown from his bike after being hit by a 2002 Nissan Altima.
The driver of the Nissan, Louis J. Trasatti IV, 22, was transported to Cape Coral Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The crash took place at the 1500 block of Pine Island Road, just west of Del Prado Boulevard in Cape Coral after the call came in just after 6 a.m.
The front driver’s side and door of the Nissan struck the rear of the bicycle. Gasber was launched from the bike and landed about 80 feet away.
After hitting the bicyclist, the vehicle went off road and hit a large truck that was parked in a nearby parking lot off Pine Island Road.
No charges are pending at this time. The traffic homicide investigation is continuing, and a toxicology report will be completed.
