Brock student killed in crash

A cyclist killed in a crash Thursday night in Thorold was a Brock University student.

Police say it appears the 19 year old man collided with a northbound vehicle in the Decew Road and Merrittville Highway area, south of Brock University at about 9pm.

He was taken by ambulance to St. Catharines General Hospital where he died.

The highway was closed for several hours for the investigation but has since re-opened.

There is no word if any charges will be laid and the man’s name has not yet been released.
