COAL TOWNSHIP - A 20-year-old New York man was hospitalized Monday after suffering head injuries when his bicycle struck a truck in Springfield.
Police reported Timothy L. Lutz, 58, of 146 Moore Lane, Shamokin, was driving a 1999 Ford F-250 truck north on Sherman Street at 12:30 p.m. when a bicycle operated by Nathan Mills, of 2310 Midland Ave., Syracuse, N.Y., struck the left side of the truck after Mills failed to stop for a stop sign while riding east on Pulaski Avenue.
Mills, who was transported by AREA Services Ambulance to Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, was in fair condition Wednesday, according to a nursing supervisor.
The truck sustained moderate damage to its box area, while the bike sustained severe damage.
Chief of Police William Carpenter, who investigated the accident, said a stop sign violation is pending against Mills.
