A man suffered minor injuries when he fell off his bike on Highway 62 in Yucca Valley Thursday morning. About 10 a.m., the unidentified bicyclist was crossing Highway 62 at the traffic light by Home Depot. Although the man was in the crosswalk, he did not have the right of way; a Chevy truck had the green light.
According to witnesses at the scene, the bike and the truck did not collide, or if they did, it was very lightly, as neither the bike nor the truck had damage. Deputies believe the bicyclist saw the truck and braked hard, and fell in the eastbound lanes of Highway 62. He was taken to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs. The driver of the truck was not cited.
