Bicyclist Critically Injured After Being Hit By Car In Westford

WESTFORD (CBS) -- A bicyclist is in critical condition after he was hit by a car on Tuesday night, police say. The crash occurred on Plain Street in Westford.

"Officers arrived, the fire department arrived, found a young male on the side of the road, he was being tended to by several witnesses," Police Chief Tom McEnaney told WBZ-TV.

He was med-flighted to Lowell General Hospital. The Middlesex County District Attorney's Office confirmed the biker is a teenager but his identity was not released.

According to McEnaney, the driver did stay on the scene and was cooperating with police. While it was early on in the investigation, he said the driver did not show any signs of impairment.

McEnaney added that the road is decently lit but it appears the biker was not riding on the side of the road that cyclists typically use.
