A police chief was seriously injured on his bicycle after colliding with another bicyclist. The Chief was listed in serious condition at a nearby hospital. He was treated at the scene for muscle and scalp injuries.
It appears that he collided with another biker,
fell off of his bicycle and landed in a ditch.
The other biker in the crash was taken to another hospital for her injuries.
It is quite unusual to hear of bicycle accidents without the cause relating to a motor vehicle.
Bicyclist need to be safe and cautious on bicycle paths were other cyclists are traveling.
Davis Law Group hopes for a full recovery for both victims in the accident.

Emergency rooms saw 51,600 bicycle-related injuries in 2008. Intersections are particularly dangerous, accounting for 35% of bicycle accidents. These accidents not only affect people’s lives, but take a toll on the economy in general. Injuries and deaths from bicycle accidents alone cost over $4 billion a year.
