September 3rd, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Police in Council Bluffs say a 9-year old boy suffered only minor injuries after he rode a bicycle between two-parked vehicles, into the path of moving vehicle. The accident happened at around 6:19-p.m. Sunday, in the 2600 block of Avenue G.

An investigation determined the boy had attempted to cross Avenue G, when the driver of a vehicle traveling in the westbound traffic lane, who was unable to see the boy until it was too late,  struck him. The child was not wearing a helmet, and suffered a laceration to his head. He was transported to Nebraska Medicine by CBFD for treatment of his injuries.

The Traffic Unit fully investigated this crash and no citations will be issued. Avenue G traffic was closed for approximately thirty minutes during this incident. Council Bluffs Police remind cyclists to check for oncoming traffic before entering a roadway and to wear a bicycle helmet.
