A Seattle pedestrian was rushed to the hospital Tuesday evening after being hit by a cyclist while crossing the street. The pedestrian was attempting to cross Beacon Street near College when struck by a bicycle heading north on Beacon. According to news reports, the pedestrian suffered life-threatening head injuries in the accident. His injures have since been downgraded to non-life threatening.
This incident is a sad reminder that even bicycles can cause serious injuries and even death to other cyclists or pedestrians involved in the accident.
