Bicyclist is critical

Staff reports



An Enid man was hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday after he was hit while riding his bicycle on Oakwood Road.

David Lee Harrison, 46, was taken to St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report, and admitted in critical condition with head and trunk injuries.

The accident happened at 5:40 p.m. on Oakwood, three-tenths of a mile south of Wheat Capital.

Harrison was riding his Allez Elite Vittoria bicycle south on Oakwood when he was hit by a 2008 Toyota Avalon driven by Duard Spleth, 84, of Waukomis, according to the report.

Spleth told officials he was driving south on Oakwood when looked down to adjust the air conditioning controls on the steering wheel and hit Harrison’s bicycle from behind. Harri-son was thrown an unknown distance in the collision, according to the report.

Trooper Jeff Jech, who investigated the accident, said a witness told him she passed both the bicyclist and Spleth’s vehicle then looked in her rearview mirror and saw the bicycle fly into the air.

Spleth was not injured, according to the report.

The cause of the accident is listed on the report as distraction inside vehicle.
