Witnesses, Video Sought in Collision Investigation
Detectives with the Richmond Police Department Crash Team, investigating the collision involving a cyclist and a vehicle on Patterson Avenue on Tuesday are asking the public to come forward with witness information or video from near the scene.
At approximately 4:38 p.m., officers were called to a collision in the 4400 block of Patterson Avenue. Officers arrived and found an adult male cyclist down and injured after the bicycle he was riding collided with a vehicle. The cyclist was transported to a local hospital with injuries that remain life-threatening.
The driver of the vehicle remained on the scene. At that location there is a parking lane between the travel lane and the dedicated bicycle lane near the curb. Crash Team investigators have determined the cyclist was riding westbound in the parking lane when the collision occurred. Investigators have also determined that speed of the vehicle or impairment of the driver were not factors in the crash.
Charges have not yet been placed. The investigation continues.
Anyone with information or doorbell video of this incident is asked to contact RPD Crash Team Investigator G. Drago at (804) 646-1369 or call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones may also be used. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
