A bicyclist was struck today on Memorial Parkway in front of Highlands High School as a driver of a parked car opened their car door as he was riding by.
The accident occurred today around 5:15 p.m.
According to Fort Thomas Police Lt. Rich Whitford, the bicyclist was transported to the hospital for his injuries.
Resident, Joe Seiter, witnessed the aftermath of the incident.
“I came around the bend and saw him laying there and the elderly couple was walking up to him with their car parked a few feet away in the middle of the street, so it just happened right before I came around the bend. Then a few other folks rushed up to help,” he said. “He sat up and was holding his leg and then laid back down in an extreme amount of pain.”
There was no update on the bicyclists’ status.
