Delaware State Police say they are investigating a "serious crash" in Lewes that sent a bicyclist to the hospital Tuesday afternoon.

A 2017 Cadillac CTS, driven by an 89-year-old Millsboro man, was headed north on Coastal Highway (Del. 1) approaching Kings Highway, police said in a news release.

The Millsboro man was properly restrained and not injured as a result of the crash.
