Accident Details: The crash happened around 7:00 a.m. on State Route 20. According to troopers, the bicyclist was traveling along the highway when they were hit by a westbound semi truck. The victim was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The truck driver remained on scene and cooperated with investigators.
