On Thursday a man had to go to hospital having been hit off his bicycle.
According to Salt Lake City police, the incident took place just after 10.30 a.m. when a car and a cyclist were traveling west on 800 South near State Street. The car, which was being driven by 34 year old Russell Hobbs, then drifted into the bike lane, hitting the bicyclist and knocking him off his bicycle.
Police went on to say that Hobbs remained at the scene and the bicyclist was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries although they are not thought to be life threatening. His name was not released.
However, Hobbs was thought to be driving under the influence and was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving on an alcohol-related revoked, suspended or denied license, possession of a controlled substance, and improper lane movement.
