North Amityville, NY – A bicyclist suffered serious injuries after a collision with a car driven by a 19-year old North Amityville woman heading southbound on New Highway, at the intersection of Walnut Road.
Around 8:15 p.m. of May 8, the bicyclist, who has not yet been identified, was crossing New Highway from Walnut Road when it crashed into a 2001 Ford Escape, according to Suffolk Police. The victim was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip for treatment.
Victims of bicycle accidents involving a motor vehicle may suffer devastating injuries. Cyclists have a greater risk of enduring severe physical injury as compared to motor vehicle users, due to the lower risk of protection a bicycle offers.
