HEBRON, Conn. — An investigation is underway after a man died from his injuries from a bicycle accident Sunday in Hebron, according to Connecticut State Police.

At 1 p.m. Sunday, state police from Troop K in Colchester were called to the area of Wall Street and Route 316 for a report about a downed bicyclist.

A passerby spotted a bike lying against a guardrail and a man with a leg injury who was beyond the guardrail and near the woods, state police said. 

The man was identified by state police as Cui Lin, 38, of Simsbury.
