UPDATE: A previous headline read, “Biker injured after crash with vehicle, police seeking witnesses,” however it appears there is not evidence that a car was involved.
EARLIER: According to the Seattle Bike Blog, a North Seattle Community College employee was seriously injured yesterday while riding his bike on College Way N. near the college. Christian Rusby is now at Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. The police are seeking witnesses.
From the SPD:
On February 23rd at approximately 3:28 p.m. officers responded to a report of a bicyclist down in the 9600 block of College Way North. Preliminary investigation indicates that a 32-year-old male was riding his bicycle northbound in the 9600 block of College Way North when, for reasons yet to be determined, he crashed causing substantial injury to his person.

Why does your headline say …”injured after crash with vehicle”, and yet the police blotter says: “No other vehicles appear to be involved” ?
