Juvenile Bicyclist Hit By Vehicle -04/18/25

This morning, April 18, 2025, at approximately 7:10am officers responded to an incident at 29^th Ave and Pacific Blvd following a report of a bicycle being struck by a vehicle. The driver remained on scene and cooperated fully with Albany Police Department. The 13-year-old juvenile was transported to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and is in stable condition.

The juvenile was operating an electric bike and wearing a full-face helmet, that likely saved his life. Preliminary investigation reports the collision occurred when the E bike failed to obey a traffic control device at the intersection and was drug underneath the pickup truck. 

We would like to thank ODOT for taking over traffic control to free up all officers at the scene and Albany Fire Department that quickly utilized the Jaws of Life to safely extract the juvenile from under the pickup truck. This collision remains under investigation at this time.
