Authorities have publicly identified a 68-year-old man who was killed last week in a bicycle crash at Lake Murray Recreation Area.

Engler died of blunt-force injuries at the scene of the accident, the agency reported.

Paramedics took the other bicyclist to a hospital for treatment of injuries of undisclosed severity.
