The incident occurred shortly after 1:30 p.m. (February 14th)
The cyclist was transported from the scene in an ambulance, and taken to a local hospital.
Police are still investigating the accident. Further details will be provided as they become available.
As you can see from the Video below that truck appears to be a Mayflower moving van.
UPDATE - The Bicyclist has been identified as long time bicycle coalition member Bill Cotton. Bill writes extensively about his local and long distance touring adventures at billcotton.com.
He is reported to be alert, sitting up, and appears to not have any broken bones.
We wish our friend Bill a speedy recovery.
