A 42-year-old bicyclist was sent to the hospital Wednesday morning after he ran a red light and was hit by a car on Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue, officials said.
The crash happened around 6:30 a.m., according to emergency dispatch logs.
The man was riding south with another bicyclist on Hazel Dell Avenue when he was hit by a car going west on Northeast 94th Street, said Dawn Johnson, spokeswoman for Clark County Fire District 6.
The bicyclist ran a red stoplight and was hit by the car, which was going through the intersection on a green light, said Sgt. Fred Neiman, a Clark County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Firefighters on scene said the man’s helmet broke into four pieces when it hit the car’s windshield.
