CROSBY-A 57-year-old Crosby man was injured Tuesday when he was struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle on West Main Street and Third Avenue/Highway 6 in Crosby.
The Crosby Police Department reported Keith Corey, 57, Crosby was biking east on Main Street at a four-way stop and Howard Hutchins, 93, of Merrifield, was driving south on Third Avenue. Police reported the driver stopped at the four-way stop, then proceeded and struck the bicyclist in the crosswalk.
