BIKE STRIKES TRUCK IN PARK

Elyria – A 12 year old Elyria boy was injured Sunday afternoon when he rode his bike into the front of a Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Police say that the 12 year old was riding his bike down the hill heading towards the Ford crossing when he saw the navy blue Dodge Ram rounding the corner. The bike had no brakes so the boy was unable to stop and rode into the front driver’s side fender / tire area.

Even though the boy was at fault, the driver of the Dodge Ram left the scene after the crash.

LifeCare Paramedics treated the boy at the scene for arm injuries and transported him to Elyria Memorial Hospital for further evaluation.

The boy was charged with Reasonable Control / Bicycle.
