Bicyclist Flown to Erie After Wreck
A bicyclist was flown to Hamot Medical Center after being hit by a car this morning on Minard Run Road.
Bradford Township Police Chief Dave Doyle tells WESB and The HERO that a car operated by 84-year-old Edna Thomas of Smethport was traveling west when the passenger side mirror hit bicyclist Amy Vleminckx of Peach Street.
Vleminckx was knocked to the ground and was unconscious for a period of time after suffering head injuries. She was treated at the scene by first responders from the Bradford Township Volunteer Fire Department and paramedics from the Bradford City Fire Department. She was later flown to Erie by LifeStar helicopter.
Initial reports said Vleminckx was a teenager but Doyle said that’s not the case, although he did not know her age.
