MADISON, Wis. — A 21-year-old bicyclist was injured on Wednesday morning when she fell off her bike and slid underneath a truck’s rear tires on West Washington Avenue, according to Madison police.
The woman was riding her bike at about 9 a.m. when, witnesses said, a truck began to make a right turn onto Henry Street from Washington Avenue. The cyclist was riding close by and apparently hit her brakes to prevent hitting the truck and she flew over the top of the bike’s handlebars, hit the ground and slid beneath the truck. (Victim is UW student.)
