Lincoln Police say a teenager ended up in the hospital after his bicycle was struck by a pickup truck crash near 57th and Elkcrest Wednesday morning. Sergeant Chris Vollmer says the 14-year-old boy had been riding his bike in the northbound lane of traffic on Deerwood Drive around 7:15 a.m.
“The bicyclist violated the stop sign at Elkcrest and Deerwood and was struck by a 2018 Silverado traveling westbound on Elkcrest.” The boy suffered serious injuries and was transported by LFR to an area hospital.
Vollmer says there was an additional motorist driving behind the bicyclist and witnessed the accident. No citations have been issued and neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to be involved in this incident.
