A 21 year old male bicyclist was seriously injured after being struck by a car as he rode his bicycle in Chicago's East Lakeview Neighborhood on September 8th. The incident took place at around 4:20 p.m. in the 2800 block of North Broadway. The cyclist was hit as he waited in the southbound lane behind the driver of a 2007 Mazda 6 who was waiting behind another vehicle attempting to parallel park. The rider and his Schwinn Collegiate were about 10' to 15' behind the Mazda when the driver suddenly accelerated backwards -- seemingly aggravated at having to wait for the parking vehicle -- crashing into the cyclist. The hard impact throw him to the street where he sustained a complex fracture to his left wrist.
The bicyclist was rushed from the scene via a City of Chicago ambulance to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. He is presently awaiting word on whether his severe injury will require surgery.
My law firm has been retained to represent the bicyclist.
