Motorcyclist and Bicyclist Collide in Midway District

The crash happened at around 2:15 p.m. at Rosecrans Street and Sports Arena Boulevard

Roadways in San Diego’s highly-congested Midway community were blocked off Friday after a motorcyclist collided with a bicyclist.

The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said the crash happened at around 2:15 p.m. in the heart of the area: at Rosecrans Street and Sports Arena Boulevard. Parts of the roads were closed off to traffic immediately following the crash.

Police said a woman was riding her bicycle eastbound on Rosecrans Street, west of Sports Arena Boulevard. During a break in traffic, the bicyclist crossed over lanes and was struck by the motorcyclist, who was traveling in the same direction, splitting between two lanes.

The bicyclist was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. The motorcyclist refused treatment, police said.

The motorcycle was halted on the shoulder of the roadway following the crash, while the bike lay on its side on the sidewalk, one of its tires bent.

No other information was immediately available.
