In this incident, a Toyota Highlander struck a cyclist, leaving them injured in the roadway. The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, but accidents like this often occur due to limited visibility, sudden lane changes, or drivers failing to notice cyclists.
Victims of bicycle accidents may face extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and financial burdens. Seeking legal guidance can help injured cyclists understand their rights and potential options for compensation.
