Hamilton Police spokesman Sgt. Brian Ungerbuehler said Butler County START (Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction Team) is assisting in the investigation.
Mollie Broadwater, a spokeswoman for Rumpke, said a residential trash truck was turning onto Bishop Avenue from Ohio 4 when the accident occurred with the bicyclist.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with that individual’s family,” she said. “It’s an unfortunate accident, and we’re working on conducting a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened.”
The Butler County Coroner’s Office was called to the scene, according to administrator Martin Schneider. The victim’s name will be released pending the coroner’s investigation. An autopsy isn’t expected to be conducted until Monday, he said.
