Pittsburgh, PA (July 29, 2025) – A bicyclist sustained injuries on Sunday afternoon, July 27, in a collision with a vehicle in Pittsburgh’s Strip District.
Police responded to reports of a crash between a vehicle and a bike around 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of Smallman and 13th Streets. According to public safety officials, the driver was trying to make a turn when their vehicle collided with a man on a bicycle. The cyclist sustained injuries, including shoulder pain, officials said, and was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Officials said the driver remained on the scene and cooperated with officers. The wreck occurred just outside the perimeter of an OpenStreetsPGH event, which allows pedestrians and bicyclists to travel on certain roads that are closed to vehicle traffic.
Officers are reviewing video footage to determine what led to Sunday’s incident, but officials said it did not appear to be intentional. In the meantime, an investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been provided.
Our thoughts are extended to the injured victims and their loved ones in hopes of their full recovery.
Bicycle Crashes in Pennsylvania
The latest data from Commonwealth transportation analysts reveal that bicycle accidents remain a serious and growing concern on Pennsylvania’s roadways. Collisions involving cyclists—whether due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or unsafe passing—frequently result in devastating injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, and spinal damage. With thousands of bike-related crashes occurring across the state each year, riders face significant dangers even when following the rules of the road.
Far too many of these incidents stem from reckless or careless driving. Motorists who ignore stop signs, speed through intersections, or drive while distracted pose an outsized risk to cyclists. And while liability may seem obvious in some cases, determining fault in a bike crash can be complex, particularly when insurers dispute the facts or attempt to minimize their policyholder’s responsibility.
If you were struck by a motorist while riding your bicycle and suffered serious injuries, the driver who caused your pain should be held accountable for your medical bills, lost income, and future care needs. Unfortunately, insurance companies often resist fair compensation, especially for long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, or wage losses that affect your financial future.
