A car struck a man on a bicycle on 87th Street near the Interstate 35 interchange in Lenexa early Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Paramedics transported the cyclist, a man in his 40s, to an area hospital with serious injuries, according to the Johnson County Post. The Lenexa Police Department's Traffic Safety Unit is investigating.
The collision happened just after 1 a.m. The Lenexa Police Department's calls-for-service log shows officers were dispatched to West 87th Street and Quivira Road at 1:03 a.m. for an injury accident.
Lenexa firefighters and Johnson County Med-Act paramedics responded. It was not known whether the cyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The driver remained at the scene. A Post reporter at the crash site observed the driver talking to police near the bicycle.
The reporter also saw the car, which had front bumper damage, stopped on the right shoulder of the ramp to northbound I-35. The bicycle, with a damaged rear wheel, was lying in the westbound lanes of 87th Street.
Police closed the westbound lanes of 87th Street and diverted traffic to both directions of I-35 while they investigated.
