CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- A charter bus carrying the Boston College basketball team struck a bicycle Tuesday, killing the rider, Chapel Hill police said.

Police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said the accident involving the bus owned by Southern Coach Co. of Durham occurred about 6:30 p.m. on N.C. Highway 54.

The name of the bicyclist, who lived in Carrboro, was not immediately released because the victim's family had not been notified.

No one on the bus was injured, police said.

No. 20 Boston College plays at North Carolina on Wednesday night.
