A bicyclist from Farmingdale was struck by a sport utility vehicle and killed early Tuesday morning on Fulton Street in Farmingdale, Nassau County police said.

Police identified the cyclist Wednesday as Antonio Jesus Vicente Sanic, 41.

The accident occurred at the intersection of Staples Street and was reported at 5:05 a.m., police said. Police said the driver, a 37-year-old man, remained at the scene.

The driver, who suffered minor injuries, was treated at a hospital, police said.

He has not been charged.

Police said the driver was headed southeast on Fulton when his 2008 Honda CRV was "involved in a collision" with the bicyclist at Staples. The crash closed Fulton Street in both directions for much of the morning between Staples and South Linden for the investigation.
