Cyclist Critically Injured By Turning Car In Seattle Bicycle Accident
Posted on Aug 20, 2009
Seattle continues to be a dangerous city for cyclists. On Thursday afternoon, a Seattle bike rider was critically injured when he was struck by an SUV. According to Seattle Police, the westbound 1988 Nissan was stopped in the center lane of Northeast 45th St. near the 200 block of the city street, waiting for traffic to clear so that he could turn into a driveway. The Washington bike accident took place at half past noon on August 5.
The cyclist, identified only as a 26-year-old male by authorities, did not see the SUV turning left and struck the vehicle. The Seattle bicycle accident probably took place because a car going east stopped to let the SUV turn, while the bicycle going east had his vision blocked by the stopped car.
The cyclist was rushed to Harborview Medical Center with critical injuries. It is unknown whether the bicycle rider was wearing a helmet or other protective gear. The 36-year-old driver of the SUV that hit the cyclist was not under found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash, which is still under investigation. The SUV driver was released after questioning.
It is unclear who had the right of way in this accident, and whether or not the cyclist was aware of the turning car before the Washington bike accident. No citations were issued.
