South Shore crash sends bicyclist through back seat window of SUV
Police filed an “immediate threat” complaint against the 91-year-old driver with the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
A Cohasset cyclist was injured Thursday in a crash that “catapulted” him through the backseat window of an SUV, according to officials.
The 57-year-old man was biking on North Main Street in Cohasset on Thursday afternoon when a Ford Escape cut into his pathway to turn into a private driveway, Cohasset police wrote on Facebook.
“With no other option, the biker hit the rear door of the Escape and was catapulted through the closed rear-door window of the vehicle, into the backseat area,” police said.
Arriving officers found the cyclist on the ground with traumatic injuries, according to the post.
