cyclin Comm. Ave.

A young male Hispanic cyclist was injured at ~11am on Comm. Ave. this morning on the inbound side near Upper Crust in a collision with a white car driven by an older caucasian gentlemen. I arrived after the first BPD officer on scene but before BFD, Boston EMS, additional BPD officers, etc. I spoke with both the cyclist (in Spanish) and the driver (in English), but I did not witness the collision. The cyclist was injured (seriously enough to be transported by ambulance to the hospital) and does not have health insurance. If ANYONE witnessed this collision, please contact ABbikes@gmail.com ASAP (and the BPD of course). The information you have may help the cyclist obtain necessary medical care and/or help to make Comm. Ave. safer for cyclists in the future.

REMINDERS: If you witness an incident involving a cyclist, please offer to provide a statement to BPD. Witness reports can be essential, especially when the cyclist has sustained a head trauma and has limited recollection of the accident/collision/incident. If you are injured in any incident involving a cyclist (you or others), (as appropriate) please be sure to file a report with BPD if/when you are able.

Thanks and PLEASE ride safely out there!
