GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO (June 2, 2018) – A man was fatally injured in a bicycle accident on South Glen Avenue, late Saturday night.
 
The collision took place at the intersection of 27th Street and South Glen Avenue (Colorado Highway 82), just before midnight.
 
According to Glenwood Springs Police Department Chief Terry Wilson, the 54-year-old male bicyclist was crossing the intersection, traveling eastbound in a crosswalk against the traffic light. A southbound vehicle was able to stop in time to avoid a collision with the biker, but a northbound vehicle struck him.
