The driver, a Syracuse University graduate who said he was heading to a restaurant, said his car was going between 25 and 30 mph on the yellow light as the bicyclist cut through Euclid Avenue on the red light. He said the bicyclist’s backpack hit the front glass of the car and caused a spider web crack.

When the bicyclist fell onto the road, the driver said he heard the bicyclist saying that his head was fine but he had pain in his arms.

The bicyclist was put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance, which left the scene around 7 p.m. The specific condition of the bicyclist is unknown.
