Police identify bicyclist killed near Udall Park on Thursday Cyclist struck by truck near Udall Park diesPolice have identified the bicyclist fatally struck near Udall Park on Thursday. Charles W. Nystrom, 54, of Tucson had been exiting the park in the 7200 block of East Tanque Verde Road when he was hit by a black Ford F-150 truck driven by a 20-year-old woman, police spokesman Sgt. Fabian Pacheco said in a news release Friday. The woman, who had been driving east on Tanque Verde, has not been cited. The completed investigation will be turned over to the Pima County Attorneys Office for review, Pacheco said. Detectives' preliminary findings show Nystrom failed to yield to oncoming traffic before riding across the road. Tucson has had 31 fatalities this year, compared to 34 at the same time last year, the release read. AS OF TODAY, THE DRIVER HAS STILL NOT BEEN CITED. WHAT HAPPEN TO SIMPLE YIELDING?
