A motorist passing a pick-up truck and horse trailer near Seymour killed a 48-year-old bicyclist and triathlete on a training ride Saturday night, according to the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department.

Kevin Payette, a husband and father of two girls, became the ninth bicyclist killed in a crash with a motor vehicle in Wisconsin this year.

According to Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Jobe, a 73-year-old driver from Bridgeton, N.J., crossed the center line while eastbound on Highway VV, near Highway Y, and collided head-on with Payette, who was traveling westbound about 6 p.m. The motorist reported he was focused on the truck he was passing and did not see Payette traveling on the roadway, Jobe said.
