23-year-old student was struck on his bicycle at approximately 6:40 p.m. today near the Human Ecology Building and Olin Health Center on Grand River Avenue.
East Lansing police officer Dan DeKorte said the victim was heading west on Grand River Avenue on his bicycle, and a young woman in a navy Chevy Trailblazer, believing the path to be clear, pulled out of the Ramp 6 exit on Grand River Avenue and hit him as he passed on the sidewalk.
DeKorte said the man on the bike tried to avoid the car, but they ended up colliding.
Police said the victim suffered leg injuries from the incident.
“He might have broken (his leg),” DeKorte said. “It wasn’t looking good.”
The victim was placed on a stretcher, and East Lansing Fire Department Captain Steve Peto said the victim was transported to a hospital, most likely Sparrow Hospital.
