A collision between a car and a bicycle rider on Tuesday March 3rd at
7:15 a.m. has Peoria Police and Fire reminding bike riders of their
responsibilities when riding on or near a roadway. A 15 year old male
was riding his bike south on the sidewalk on the west side of North 87th
Avenue and when he got to West Lone Cactus Drive he rode off the side
walk and directly in to the path on a car being driven by an 18 year old
male. The driver of the car was unable to stop colliding with the bike
rider and came to an immediate stop after the collision. The 15 year old
bike rider was treated by Peoria Fire paramedics and then flown to a
trauma center in Phoenix with non-life threatening injuries.
