A cyclist is dead after being caught under a vehicle in what Corner Brook police are calling a "tragic event."

First responders rushed to the intersection of Reid Street and Humber Park around 9 p.m. NT Wednesday, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said.

In a statement, the RNC said that when officers arrived, paramedics attempted to resuscitate a cyclist, who was trapped under a vehicle.

"However he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene," said the RNC statement issued Thursday morning.

"The matter is not considered criminal at this time," the statement said, although the investigation is still underway.
