BOSTON -- A bicyclist was killed in Boston Wednesday after being run over by a dump truck, police said.

The bicyclist, a 22-year-old man from Halifax, was riding between two lanes of traffic on Huntington Avenue when he was clipped by a taxicab near Northeastern University at about 2:30 p.m., police said. After being clipped by the cab, the bicyclist was run over by a McCauley and Sons Co. dump truck, police said.

"It looked like the cab clipped the bike's back wheel and the bike got knocked under the truck's back wheels. After that, the truck kept going, the cab pulled over and I saw the bike rider just face down," said witness J.D. Ferry.

Police said the dump truck driver and the cab driver are cooperating with the investigation. So far, no charges have been filed.

The victim's name was not released pending notification of his family. He was a 2006 graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art.
