A bicyclist was involved in an accident at the intersection of Sixth Street and Gregory Drive on Tuesday night.
According to Sgt. Joan Fiesta of the University Police Department, the bicyclist sustained minor injuries after a car hit her while she was entering the Sixth and Gregory intersection from the sidewalk.
University police blocked off Sixth Street from Gregory to Peabody drive while they took photographic evidence of the accident – a bicycle lodged under the front bumper of a silver Toyota.
It took two officers to dislodge the bike from under the vehicle.
