Bicyclist Christopher Gongon, was hit by a vehicle driven by 71 year old, Gerald Anderson, on Colony Rd at the Morrowick Rd intersection.  Anderson was making a left turn from Colony Rd., northbound.   Gongon entered the intersection straight from the south bound bike lane.  This was a classic ‘left cross’ collision.  EMTs were on the scene, but according to the police report Gongon was not seriously harmed – the bike was damaged.

At this location, Colony Rd has speed limit of 35 mph, is two traffic lanes in each direction and has bike lanes.  Anderson was not cited for any traffic violations.  DRIVER #1 STATED THAT…HE STRUCK UNIT #2.  HE STATED HE NEVER SAW UNIT #2

I wish Gongon a speedy return to bicycling.
