A Windham man riding a bicycle died after being struck by a motor vehicle on Route 302 in Windham on Monday night, police said.

Adam Willruth, 38, was hit by a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta operated by Logan J. Williams, 20, of Windham, police said in a statement.

Williams was driving eastbound around 6:30 p.m. when the car hit Willruth on his bicycle near the All Town gas station and convenience store, police said. Willruth was pronounced dead at the scene.

The heavily traveled road, also known as Roosevelt Trail, was closed to traffic for more than three hours before it reopened just after 10 p.m.

Windham police said it does not appear that alcohol or speed were factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.
