Dies
Before the world championships in Scotland next month, a young US cyclist who was on the rise was fatally struck by a car on Saturday when he was bicycling in Colorado, according to officials.
Magnus White, 17, a member of the US Junior Men’s National Team, was murdered while bicycling close to his Boulder home on Saturday afternoon, according to a statement released by USA Cycling on Sunday.
According to a preliminary incident report obtained to The Post by the Colorado Highway Patrol, White, who was wearing a helmet, was riding south on Colorado State Highway 119 when a Toyota Matrix being operated by a 23-year-old Colorado woman slammed him from behind and knocked him off the bike.

The Toyota then veered off the right side of the road and down an embankment before slamming into a fence and coming to a stop, according to the highway patrol.
The car’s driver was unharmed.
Magnus White was brought to the hospital, where he passed away.
The fatal collision is still under investigation. Although it was unclear right away if criminal charges would be brought, state investigators do not believe that drinking, drugs, or speeding were at play.
White’s parents, Michael and Jill, as well as his brother, Eero, are left behind.
When he was ten years old, he started competing in national races.
In this extraordinarily trying time, USA Cycling sent its deepest condolences to the White family, his colleagues, friends, and the Boulder community.
Career
White, who specialized in off-road cycling, represented the United States in the 2022 and 2023 Cyclocross World Championships. According to USA Cycling, he started competing at the national level at the age of 10.
He qualified for the Mountain Bike World Championships squad for the first time this year. On August 10, he was scheduled to compete in Glasgow.
The USA Cycling press release states that White “fell in a passion for cycling at an early age with Boulder Junior Cycling.”
He was an emergence in the off-road cycle scene, and it was obvious that he loved the sport from his competition to his relationships with colleagues and the community.
For a response, CNN has reached out to the Colorado State Patrol.
Scotland will play home to the first UCI Cycling World Championships, which will take place from August 3 to August 13 in Glasgow.
Before the junior men’s mountain bike cross-country world championships on August 10 in Glasgow, White was on one of his final training rides when he was hit and murdered.
