Just before 6 p.m., a semi driver, Lazo Komosar, 57, of Indianapolis, said he had a green light and was turning right from Harrison Street onto Broadway. He told police that as he was turning, a bicyclist hit his trailer. Komosar said he stopped as soon as the collision occurred.
The bicyclist, Matthew Wyrick, 61, of Shelbyville, told police that he was proceeding through the crosswalk on a walk signal when the truck turned in front of him. Wyrick further explained that he tried to back away but the truck hit his bike and he went to the ground.
Wyrick had a complaint of shoulder pain. Shelbyville Police say there was no damage to his bike.
