ELYRIA — A 24-year-old man riding a bike was taken to the hospital with a broken leg after he was hit by a pickup truck this morning.

The accident happened at 5:45 a.m. at the intersection of Foster and Lake avenues in Elyria, according to Fire Capt. Robert Donofrio.

Engine 3 responded to 385 Foster and found the man lying on the ground with his pantleg in the sprockets of the bike with “an obvious left femur fracture,” Donofrio said.

The man was taken to EMH Regional Medical Center by LifeCare, Donofrio said. Neither his identity nor his condition were immediately known.

Donofrio did not have any information on the driver of the pickup, but said that individual wasn’t hurt.

Elyria police also responded.
