(KAIR)--A preteen bicyclist escaped serious injury Wednesday morning after he collided with a pick up truck at a busy Atchison intersection.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says it happened around 6:20 Wednesday morning when the 12-year-old boy, northbound on 4th Street, entered the intersection with U.S. Highway 59, where his bicycle “collided with a pick up truck.”

The child, who was wearing a safety helmet at the time of the wreck, suffered what Wilson calls “a few cuts and bruises,” and was treated at the scene of the collision by Atchison County EMS. The child was to be transported for hospital examination by private vehicle.

The 60-year old Atchison woman who was driving the pick up was not hurt.
