CORNELIUS, Ore. - An Aloha bicyclist was killed Saturday when he was hit by a car trying to pass him on a rural Washington County road north of here.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office identified the man as 66-year-old Timothy O'Donnell.
The driver of the vehicle, 26-year-old Jennifer Knight of Hayden, Idaho, was cited for driving while suspended, careless driving and passing in a no passing zone.
