A 61-year-old Cocoa bicyclist was hospitalized after he pedaled into the path of a minivan Saturday night on U.S. 1 in Port St. John, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
The bicycle crash occurred just before 6:15 p.m. south of Broadway Boulevard, near Florida Power & Light’s Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center.
The unidentified bicyclist was riding west — and not in a marked crosswalk — when he entered a northbound U.S. 1 lane in the direct path of a 2022 Toyota Sienna driven by a 43-year-old Land O’ Lakes woman, FHP Lt. Tara Crescenzi said in a statement.
The Cocoa bicyclist was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne under a trauma alert. Neither the Sienna driver nor her passenger, a 38-year-old Jacksonville woman, were injured.
The crash remains under investigation.
