乌鸦传媒淩ight now, we乌鸦传媒檙e trying to figure out what happened. The cyclist sustained serious leg injuries. We don乌鸦传媒檛 know if it乌鸦传媒檚 hips or pelvis, but it乌鸦传媒檚 serious,乌鸦传媒� he said.
At the time Ward said they aren乌鸦传媒檛 sure if the cyclist乌鸦传媒檚 injuries are life-threatening.
乌鸦传媒淔rom what I乌鸦传媒檝e been told, it was a hip-pelvis injury乌鸦传媒� and something got cut open too. Generally, those are pretty serious and can be life-threatening just because of the blood vessels down there.乌鸦传媒�
乌鸦传媒淲e have some members going to the hospital to monitor the victim and find out what their status is.乌鸦传媒�
Northbound traffic on Highway 97 backed up due to a pedestrian struck.
