An 82-year-old man was injured when his bicycle reportedly veered into Kent traffic and fell under the rear tires of a van at about 4:39 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 in the 10600 block of Kent-Kangley Road.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The van ran over the legs of the man, said Kent Police Sgt. Jarod Kasner in an email. The man remained hospitalized Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There appears to be no wrongdoing or impairment with the van driver, a Maple Valley man in his 40s, Kasner said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It is unknown why the bicyclist veered into traffic,” Kasner said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kasner said it is unknown if the man is a Kent resident. Officers are still gathering information about the man and the accident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
