I found the report for the crash referred to at Glenway and the
Southwest Path.

According to the Police report, this is what I know about this crash:
A 24 year old male bicyclist was traveling westbound on the Southwest
Path approaching Glenway.  A motorist was northbound on Glenway.  There
is a stop sign for the bike path at the intersection.  The bicyclist
received a ticket for failing to stop for the stop sign.  

The bicyclists was not wearing a helmet.  

The injury indication is for a possible injury, meaning "any injury
that is not observable or evident at the scene but that is claimed by
the individual or suspected by the law enforcement officer."  And he was
transported to a medical facility.  I do not have any way to follow up
on the extent of injuries, if any.

By the way, we refer to all such incidents as "crashes" as opposed to
"accidents".  The term accident tends to imply something that was
unpreventable, as opposed to crashes, which are primarily the result of
actions that people choose to make.
