NY BICYCLE ACCIDENT NEWS

Cycling advocates have sued to force the state to pave over rumble strips carved into a 4.4-mile stretch of Route 100 in Yorktown and Somers - a favorite stretch for bike riders. The state Department of Transportation installed the strips to protect motorists, cyclists and joggers along the road, but the Westchester Cycle Club argues that they were a misguided measure that actually forces people pedaling along the road into traffic on the stretch between routes 118 and 35.

(Phelps, N.Y) -- A man from Ontario County is now in satisfactory condition at Strong Memorial Hospital after he was hit by a car while riding his bike on Sunday. The Ontario County Sheriff's Office said the 23, of Clifton Springs, was attempting to cross Route 96 in Phelps when he was struck by a car driven by another man, 26.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A 30-year-old man was taken to the hospital with head injuries on Sunday after he struck a car while riding his bicycle on Broadway, police say. The man, who police did not identify, was riding north at 1:22 p.m., when he hit the rear passenger door of a vehicle turning left into the parking lot of Lillian's restaurant, Lt. Matthew Veitch said. The bicyclist was not wearing a helmet and was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Veitch said. The operator of the vehicle, who police would only say is from Vermont, will likely face charges of failing to yield the right of way, police said. "The investigation is ongoing and charges are anticipated," Veitch said.

A bicyclist was struck and killed by and oversized,18 wheel, tractor trailer truck at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 30th Street. The bicycle messenger was struck by a tractor trailer hauling freight for the Aulenbak Company of New Jersey. (Measurements performed at the scene by Transportation Alternatives with a measuring wheel calibrated to tenths of feet) found that the tractor trailer combination was approximately 60 feet long. New York City law prohibits tractor trailer combinations exceeding 55 feet. It is not known if the size of the truck contributed to the crash. However, it is known that larger trucks take longer to brake and have larger blind spots in which the driver cannot observe pedestrians and bicyclists.
