An Alpharetta man is recovering Wednesday night after a pick-up truck ran him over on his bicycle, police said. Police are still uncertain how the bicyclist, who has not been identified, came to be trapped beneath the truck.
The bicyclist was pinned beneath the truck for 20 minutes after being run over by the vehicle sometime after 6:30 p.m., Alpharetta Police spokesman George Gordon said.
“The bicyclist [was] talkative, responsive and alert,” as emergency crews used a hydraulic lift to rescue him from beneath the truck, Gordon said.
The bicyclist suffered cuts and abrassions, and was taken to North Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell where he is being kept for observation, Gordon said.
No charges have been filed against the driver of the truck, police said.
