Unfortunately, collisions involving cyclists are common, especially in busy intersections like East 5th Street and Crocker Street, where heavy traffic and limited visibility can contribute to accidents.
Many bicycle crashes occur due to drivers failing to yield, distracted driving, or poor road conditions. Even at low speeds, a collision between a vehicle and a cyclist can result in significant injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and internal damage. To improve safety, officials encourage both drivers and cyclists to remain vigilant, follow traffic laws, and use designated bike lanes whenever possible.
