According to police reports, the incident involved two vehicles and Ismael Arrenaviz on his bicycle.
 
The fatal accident began when at around 11:41 a.m., a male driver headed westbound on Columbus Street.
 
As the driver neared Union Avenue, he fell asleep behind the wheel.

Another vehicle from that oncoming traffic then struck the rear of the driver who hit Arrenaviz.
