As Phoenix bicycle accident attorneys, we were sorry to hear about a man who was injured while attempting to cross the road at 19th Avenue and Vogel on January 7, according to news reports published in ABC 15. The 45-year-old man was left in critical condition after an SUV struck him. The SUV was traveling northbound on 19th Avenue in the center lane. The 47-year-old driver was not injured and showed no signs of impairment. Our thoughts and prayers are with the bicycle rider and his family. We wish him a full and quick recovery.
