Bicyclist transported to hospital, cited after being hit by car

SANDUSKY – A man was transported to the hospital Wednesday morning following a crash involving a bicycle and car at the intersection of Neil Street and Warren Street.

According to a report from the Sandusky Police Department, the crash occurred when a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze was driving southbound on Warren Street and a bicycle was traveling westbound on the south sidewalk adjacent to Neil Street. The bicycle continued past the stop sign at the intersection and was struck by the Chevrolet. The bicyclist was ejected on top of the Chevrolet.

The bicyclist, a 44-year-old Sandusky, was transported to Firelands Regional Medical Center for a possible minor injury. At the hospital, he complained of pain, but no visible injuries were observed, the report states.

According to the report, the bicyclist claimed that the crash actually occurred 0.2 miles north at the intersection of East Monroe Street and Warren Street, where there is a traffic light. Physical evidence disputed this claim, the report states.

The bicyclist was cited for reckless operation on bicycle.
