(KAIR)--A teenage bicyclist required hospital care after being struck while riding on an Atchison street.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News it happened around 4:45 Tuesday afternoon when the 14-year-old was westbound on the sidewalk, located on the south side of the 300 block of Commercial Street.

Traveling at what Wilson said was a fast speed, the bicyclist entered 4th Street without stopping and collided with a southbound car.

According to Wilson, the vehicle was moving at a very slow speed, having just cleared the intersection, when the wreck occurred.

The teen was transported to the Atchison Hospital by Atchison County EMS for examination.
