Cyclist Struck In Chelsea, FDNY Says

CHELSEA, NY — A car struck a cyclist in Chelsea Thursday afternoon, officials said.

Emergency responders rushed to Sixth Avenue and West 25th Street where the cyclist was struck about 12:50 p.m., an FDNY spokesperson said. The cyclist had not been taken to a hospital, the spokesperson said.

An official source said a 26-year-old man had a foot injury from the crash. A black Mercedes was involved and appears to have left the intersection, the source said.

Police did not have any immediate information about the incident Thursday afternoon, as the public information office typically receives reports regarding serious injuries, an NYPD spokesperson said.

Additional details were not immediately available, and it is unclear which direction and on which streets the car and cyclist were going.

The cyclist was injured just two blocks from where 20-year-old Robyn Hightman was fatally hit less than a month ago at 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue. Earlier this week, a Citi Bike rider was struck by a taxi at that same intersection after she told officials her brakes malfunctioned, Patch previously reported.
