BLOOMINGTON, Illinois (KTRE) - A bicycle-pedestrian collision at Illinois State University left a former SFA administrator critically injured on Monday. He died Friday morning, according to a release from Illinois State University Police and the McLean County Coroner’s Office.

Adam E. Peck, 49, of Bloomington, was struck by a bicycle around 5:30 p.m. Monday in a plaza walking area at Illinois State University, authorities said. Sister TV station WEEK reported he was taken to Carle BroMenn Medical Center, where he died at 11:06 a.m. Friday.
