Investigating detectives have determined that Starr was riding his bicycle in the outbound lane of S. Tryon Street, near the curb and approaching the intersection of Steele Creek Road.

Authorities have revealed that the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision was operating a Mazda CX-5 and travelling in the same direction as the bicycle on S. Tryon Street. The front right corner of the Mazda collided with the bicycle, causing Starr to be thrown into the air and ultimately land on the sidewalk.
