NORTH PARK — A 39-year-old man riding a bicycle on University Avenue in North Park was seriously injured about 1:20 p.m. Saturday after colliding with a Chevrolet pickup, San Diego police said. 

The accident occurred when the 85-year-old driver of the pickup, who was headed west on University, made a left turn onto Alabama Street in front of the bicyclist, police said.

The bicyclist hit the pickup and flew off his bicycle into the truck’s windshield, seriously injuring his arm. He was transported to a local hospital, police said.

Cause of the North Park accident

If news accounts  are accurate, the driver of the pickup is likely  responsible for causing this accident. However, the accident is still under investigation by the San Diego Police Department and an official determination of the cause of the San Diego  County crash has not been made.
