BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are investigating after a dump truck collided with a bicyclist on Huntington Avenue and Mass. Ave. Wednesday afternoon.
Officials told 7NEWs that the bicyclist’s injuries were “serious” but that he was was conscious when an EMS crew treated him at the scene.
The collision was so severe that it snapped the frame of the bike.
Police said there are cameras in the vicinity that they plan to use as part of the investigation.
Police say the operator of the dump truck remained on the scene and is cooperating with police. The driver is employed by K-Town Disposal, a waste management company based out of New England.
“I was walking today and it was a walk sign but it was also giving cars a green light,” said one witness. “It’s just Boston. It’s a busy place but I hope the bike rider’s OK.”
