A man was taken to the hospital after being hit by a car while riding a bicycle in Lower Burrell Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency responders reported to the intersection of Leechburg Road and Reed Street at around 2 p.m.
Lower Burrell Police sergeant Scott Miller said an older man was riding a pedal bike on Leechburg Road when he was hit from the side by an oncoming car. The driver stayed on scene to speak with police.
A medical helicopter was initially called to the scene, but was canceled.
“They were going to fly him,” Miller said. “Now they’re going to drive him, so that’s a good sign.”
Officials started to clear the scene around 2:30 p.m.
Miller said police would be continuing their investigation and taking witness statements after the incident.
