The Colorado Springs Fire Department has a new bicycle, and a 54 year old man had an expensive ride to the hospital this evening.
Around 5:40 PM on January 14th, 2009, a 54 year old male was riding his bicycle southbound on Nevada Avenue. Approximately 15 yards from the intersection at Pikes Peak, he fell from his bicycle after riding over a recessed manhold cover, reported Lieutenant David Broch of the CSFD. Police aren't investigating any possibility of a hit an run as the victim said it was an accidental fall. None of the bystanders that were on scene saw the event take place. The 54 year old was taken to the hospital in ambulance. The victim remained unnamed however his bicycle was taken by Engine NO. 1 until he is able to retrieve it.
All photos were shot on scene by Preston Stohs.
