From the Delco Times:
"A preliminary investigation indicated that Bradley had been traveling west along South Avenue, on the sidewalk from Chester Pike, toward Lynwood Circle. Eastbound traffic in the curb lane on South Avenue had stopped, with a break in the cars at the intersection at Lynwood Circle, police said.
The teen rode through the break in the cars, apparently not seeing Falone traveling eastbound near the center line, resulting in the collision, police said. The teen was then thrown from the bike. He was not wearing a helmet."
