I didn’t see any post about this, and with all the bike related commentary going on, I thought I would post this. About 4:45pm today, there was a auto/cyclist accident at the intersection of N. McDonough and Maple, in front of the High School. The accident had already occured when I passed by. There was an SUV in the outside northbound lane of North McDonough, and a bicycle was underneath the tire of the car. Police had already responded. When I passed by again, it appeared that the cyclist was sitting on the tailgate of a pickup receiving medical treatment. My daughter identified him as a freshman at the high school, but didn’t really know him. He didn’t appear to have any life threatening injuries. I figured someone would know more and have already posted about it.
I’ll follow up with DPD and see what more I can find out about this.
