A cyclist accident occurred at the intersection of County Line and Doylestown roads in Montgomery Township on a recent Thursday afternoon. A man, crossing the street, was struck by a silver Lexus at around 3:14 p.m.. The man was taken to Grand View Hospital with serious injuries, though he was talking to responders right after the accident.
There were conflicting reports about whether the man was on a bike or walking when he was struck. However, there was substantial damage to the passenger side windshield of the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle stopped and stayed at the scene and is said to be cooperating with police.
Bike Riders Are at a High Risk of Injury
Riding a bike is one of the most important and basic forms of transportation, including in areas like Montgomery Township. Yet, riders are often at risk of serious injuries because of drivers who are not paying attention, speeding, or otherwise engaging in reckless operation. A quick text message or looking at the navigational screen is enough for a driver to miss a person riding their bike on the road. Because riders have no protection, they often suffer serious, life-threatening injuries.
