Rider hit

A Portland man was injured after riding his bicycle in front of oncoming traffic, causing an accident Friday afternoon.

Julio C. Suazo, 33, sustained a scrape on his shoulder from the crash.

Robert L. Osterfeld, 70, Celina, Ohio, was driving his 2017 Honda Pilot east on Water Street near its intersection with Morton Street in Portland about 2:14 p.m. Friday. He told Portland police a cyclist, Suazo, rode into his path. Osterfeld didn’t have enough time to stop before his car struck Suazo’s bicycle.

Suazo declined treatment at the scene, later taking himself to IU Health Jay for evaluation.

Damage is estimated between $2,500 and $5,000.
