Followup: Police say Barton collision involved 5-year-old bicyclist

Last night, a WSB Forum member posted a photo and report about an accident at 15th/Barton; we subsequently checked with police, who told us it was vehicle vs. pedestrian. Now there’s an update on the police department’s SPD Blotter site, saying the victim wasn’t a pedestrian, but a 5-year-old boy on a bicycle (you can see the bicycle in the photo at left, from the original forum post). Police say he was not seriously hurt. More details here in the SPD Blotter post.

Any word on the condition of the kid?

So glad the boy is going to be okay.

It sounds like he was not wearing a helmet? If he needs one and the family cannot afford it, I would be happy to give him one for Christmas. The WSB knows how to find me and we could arrange an anonymous drop off point.

Cheers,

Sorry, comment time is over.
