A collision Thursday morning between a bicyclist and a car could have been much worse, according to spokesman Sgt. Phil Keenan.
A Prius was making a U-turn across 190th/Anita Street when a bicyclist riding down the hill T-boned it, denting the car's door and breaking the driver's window, Keenan said.
The 17-year-old bicyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital, Keenan said. The driver suffered a superficial cut from the broken glass.
