A cyclist is being hospitalized with a head injury after being struck by a vehicle in Lakewood a short time ago.
The incident happens at the entrance to Gourmet Glatt Plaza north, on Kennedy Boulevard.
“Had he been wearing a helmet, he would have been fine,” a first responder said.
The patient is being transported with non life-threatening injuries.
That’s a hard way to learn what should be understood! Get well Cyclists!
When I was hit by a car while riding a bike (it was the drivers fault, he made a left turn without looking past the oncoming traffic) I had some pretty gnarly injuries, but despite going headfirst through the guys windshield I survived without brain injuries thanks to my helmet.
