A bicyclist in Moore was hit by a vehicle Thursday afternoon, in an accident that occurred near the intersection of Northwest 12th Street and City Avenue. According to KOCO, the details released by the Moore Police Department indicate that the car was traveling north on City Avenue when it collided with the bicyclist, who was in the process of attempting to cross the street. The aftermath of the crash left the road temporarily inaccessible to other drivers as officials managed the scene.
Following the collision, the injured bicyclist was quickly taken to a local hospital to treat a head injury sustained from the impact, reported FOX 25. Moore police urged commuters to avoid the area between NW 12th and NW 8th Street on City Avenue in the immediate aftermath, to prioritize emergency responder access and to conduct an investigation into how the collision occurred. The specifics of the cyclist's condition have not been publicly disclosed as of yet.
While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, the driver involved remained at the scene and as of the latest reports, no charges or citations have been reported. The police are likely continuing to actively gather evidence and witness accounts to thoroughly understand the incident's circumstances, albeit the preliminary facts suggest a routine transit gone awry.
City Avenue was reopened later in the day, signaling a return to normal traffic flow, as confirmed by NewsOn6. The Moore Police Department has taken it onto themselves to possibly issue a further update once more details are available.
