TOWSON, Md. — A 76-year-old bicyclist has died from injuries sustained in a crash last month on Taylor Avenue, the Baltimore County Police Department announced Thursday.

The incident occurred on September 20, when Edward Files was struck by a 2017 Ford Taurus as the vehicle exited a driveway near Collinsdale Road. Files had been riding eastbound on the sidewalk at the time of the collision, according to detectives from the police department’s Crash Team.

Files was transported to a local hospital by the Baltimore County Fire Department, where he was treated for his injuries. He was pronounced dead on October 13, nearly a month after the accident.

The driver of the Ford remained at the scene following the crash. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
