A 36-year-old cyclist was killed after being hit by a truck in the 2100 block of M Street NW on Saturday afternoon, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Jeffrey Hammond Long, of Northwest, D.C., was biking west when a truck traveling in the same direction attempted to make a right turn onto New Hampshire Avenue NW at 2:15 p.m., according to MPD. As they collided, the cyclist fell under the truck.

Long was taken to a hospital for treatment. He succumbed to his injuries the following day.

The crash remains under investigation.

The District Department of Transportation installed a protected bike lane on M Street NW from Thomas Circle to 28th St. NW in 2014.

Two years ago, the city has launched an ambitious effort, Vision Zero, to eliminate all traffic fatalities by 2024.

Long was the second bicyclist killed in less than a month. 19-year-old Malik Habib died two weeks ago after his wheel got stuck in a streetcar rail on H Street NE and he fell in the path of a charter bus.
