HAZLETON, PA : Man injured after crash on Sunday, July 23, 2017

A bicyclist was flown to a regional trauma center after he and a sedan collided on Route 93 Sunday afternoon.

The crash happened just before noon on the state route, also known as Broad Street, between the office of Magisterial District Judge Joseph Zola, Hazleton and the Hazleton Elks Lodge, just west of Lehigh Valley Hospital-Hazleton.

An ambulance drove the injured male bicyclist from the crash site to the hospital helipad near by and he was flown to another facility from there, according to police.

The extent of his injuries was unknown and the exact circumstances of the crash remains under investigation. Police haven’t released the names of those involved yet.

East and Westbound traffic on Route 93 was down to one lane temporarily as the crash was investigated on scene. Traffic bypassed the bicycle which was found in the center lane of the road with a twisted front tire.

A silver sedan the bicycle collided with was parked near by.

American Patient Transport Systems Inc., responded as did Hazleton fire.
