A Girard man is dead after his motorized bicycle collided with a vehicle in Girard Township on Friday.

It happened in the 11300 block of W. Ridge Rd., which is just east of Townline/Cross Station Rd., at 3:59 p.m.

Gheorghe Popa, 65, was riding the bicycle westbound on the side of the road when he suddenly turned south without signaling and crossed in front of a westbound Subaru Outback, according to state police.

The 69-year-old Erie woman driving the Subaru was unable to avoid hitting Popa and his bicycle, troopers said.

Popa was pronounced dead at the scene. He died of blunt force trauma, according to the Erie County Coroner.

The driver of the car was checked out for minor injuries, state police said.
