Child Injured in Bike Collision at Sauk Rapids Crosswalk

SAUK RAPIDS (WJON News) -- A child suffered minor injuries after they were struck while crossing a Sauk Rapids street on their bike.

Police Chief Perry Beise says a 16-year-old driver was heading north on Benton Drive just after 7:00 p.m., when the driver came upon a crosswalk at 10th Street North.

Beise says the driver slowed to allow three bicyclists to cross. Once the cyclists were across the road, the driver continued northbound and struck a 12-year-old bicyclist who was following behind the group.

The 12-year-old child suffered scratches and scrapes from the road and was taken by ambulance to St. Cloud Hospital for observation and treatment.

The 16-year-old driver was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk. No one else was hurt.
