CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston Police say the bicyclist struck early Wednesday morning on the Cosgrove Bridge died of his injuries.

A Chrysler Town and Country minivan was traveling north in the left lane of the Cosgrove Bridge and struck an adult male bicyclist, Police spokesman Charles Francis said.
