A 42-year-old male cyclist who died last week in a crash near Tumwater has been identified, the Thurston County Coroner said.

The cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries and the manner of death was ruled an accident, Coroner Gary Warnock said Sunday.

Thurston County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the wreck about 4 p.m. May 19. Lt. Cameron Simper, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said the truck driver, who showed no signs of impairment, remained at the scene and was cooperative.
