Around 11:15 p.m. Sunday, a bicyclist was struck and killed by a car in a crosswalk on Maine Avenue.

The incident was not a hit-and-run; the driver remained at the scene. The Toyota Corolla passed through a green light at the intersection where the bicyclist was struck. No charges have been filed against the driver.

The bicyclist was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have identified him as 24-year-old Ian M. Wolfe of Bethesda.

U.S. Park Police are investigating the accident, as the crosswalk is within the bounds of West Potomac Park, near the Tidal Basin Parking.

Any person who may have witnessed this incident is encouraged to contact the United States Park Police Criminal Investigations Branch at (202) 610-8737.
