The cyclist was attempting to cross E Washington at Union St. Union St is one block north of the North St/ Milwaukee St intersection. The driver had been outbound on E Washington, and had not turned from Milwaukee St or North St. I have not received official word but it is unlikely the cyclist had a helmet or a light.
Alcohol was not a factor, either by the drivers or victims. nor was excessive speed.
I'll share more information with you as I become aware of it.
Thanks for the Information Steve. I have noticed two things that may have been factors in the crash mentioned above:
TWO streetlights are out at that intersection - one just past union in the outbound lanes, and one just past union on the inbound lanes (the lights are out at opposite corners of the intersection).
Also, there seem to be some construction barriers on union at the southbound part of the intersection. I have noticed that construction barriers have a tendancy to make bicyclists appear invisible to motorists - or should I say - distract motorist's attention away from scanning the intersection for peds/vehicles crossing.
