A male bicyclist was struck by a car at Sacramento State around 5 p.m.

Traffic was congested as a result, with the cyclist left unconscious on the road. Passerby Alberto Villa said he noticed a group of two to three people surrounding the male on College Town Drive by the tennis courts.

“I knew the biker was definitely hurt badly because he was not moving at all and they kept checking his head,” Villa said.

Villa said the bicyclist might have had some fault because he did not notice any lights on the bike. With the recent daylight saving time, the sun goes down before 6 p.m. 

“It’s really hard to see anything going on at that intersection,” Villa said. “Nevertheless, it’s sad that someone got hurt.”
