Police in Council Bluffs report a juvenile on a bike escaped injury Wednesday morning after he was struck by a car. Officers responding at around 7:30-a.m. to Avenue G and North 21st Street, determined 57-year old Kimberly Shaw, of Council Bluffs, was Westbound on Avenue G in her vehicle when the bicyclist crossed Ave G Northbound at North 21st Street. Shaw was unable to bring her vehicle to a complete stop and struck the bicyclist with the front of her vehicle.

Due to the high volume pedestrian traffic in the area going to Woodrow Wilson Junior High School traffic was only moving at approximately 10 mph. The juvenile was checked at the scene by Council Bluffs Fire Department Paramedics and was released without treatment to a guardian.

While officers were on scene a second juvenile was reported to have been struck by a vehicle in the 2100 block of Ave G. It was later determined that the second juvenile had merely fallen off his bicycle and was not stuck by a vehicle. The second juvenile was escorted to the school staff members where he was going to see the school nurse for minor injuries.

The Council Bluffs Police Department would like to remind the public that all area schools are back in session and please use extra caution especially during times that area students are traveling back and forth to school.
