Coudy Man Hurt When Car Hits Bike

A Coudersport man was flown to Robert Packer Memorial Hospital in Sayre after suffering major injuries when he turned his bicycle into the path of a car Monday afternoon on Route 6 in Eulalia Township.

Police say 19-year-old Benjamin Elliott did not use a hand signal before turning into the path of a car driven by 67-year-old Tommie Watkins of Helena, Ohio, who applied his brakes, but couldn’t avoid hitting Elliot. Elliot briefly rode on the hood of Watkins’ car before falling into the road, according to a fax sent to WESB and The HERO by Coudersport-based state police.

Elliot suffered multiple injuries to his head. Neither Watkins, nor a passenger in his car, 56-year-old Gwen Watkins, were hurt.
