Boulder, CO : Three people were injured when their three-person tandem bike collided on May, Saturday, 13th 2017

Three people were injured when their three-person tandem bike collided Saturday with an SUV on Sunshine Canyon Drive.

Colorado State Trooper Nate Reid said that an adult and two children were riding a tandem bicycle that had been retrofitted with a third seat eastbound near the 3900 block of Sunshine Drive at about 3:30 p.m. when the crash occurred.

Investigation revealed that the cyclist crossed into the westbound lanes and sideswiped a Toyota 4Runner SUV. The man on the bicycle suffered minor- to- moderate injuries as did a juvenile girl on the bicycle, and the two self-transported to the hospital.

A juvenile boy suffered serious injuries and required an ambulance for transport to Boulder Community Health Foothills Hospital. He was later airlifted to Children's Hospital, but is expected to survive, Reid said.

The driver of the SUV remained on scene and wasn't cited, according to Reid. Speed is being considered on the part of the cyclist, but Reid didn't have any information on whether the cyclist would be ticketed.

The crash was close to the scene of a fatal crash involving a cyclist and vehicle that happened on May 4 when 19-year-old University of Colorado student Alessandro Zarzur crossed into oncoming traffic near Sunshine Canyon Drive and Seven Hills Drive and collided with an oncoming truck.
