SUV, Bike Collision Sends Man To Harborview in Critical Condition

READ THE UPDATED STORY: Cyclist Struck On Logan Dies

Shortly after 5 p.m. today, Renton Police and Renton Fire units responded to the 200 block of Logan Avenue North near Renton Memorial Stadium.  Multiple callers had reported a collision between a bicyclist and a white Sports Utility Vehicle.  

The cyclist, a man in his 60s or 70s, was unconscious and unresponsive when emergency services personnel arrived, according to a police statement. 

It appears that the man was riding across Logan Avenue mid-block, from east to west (in other words from the area of the Senior Center, toward the stadium) when the north-bound traveling SUV struck him. Police are still investigating; however it appears the SUV was driving within the speed limit, according to the statement. 

The cyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, has not been identified. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center with Critical injuries, said Cmdr. Katie McClincy, who was at the scene.

This investigation is in the initial stages, and more information will be posted to Patch as is becomes available. Any witnesses to this collision who have not already spoken with investigators are asked to call the Renton Police Department at (425) 430-7500 and reference case 11-7803.
