UPDATE: The juvenile driver of a vehicle that struck and injured a teenager on a bicycle going across William Street was cited for causing the accident, said Carson City Sheriff’s Sgt. Darrin Sloan.

The accident isn’t related to the traffic diversions coming off of Saliman onto William Street. The driver appeared to not be paying attention as the teen bicyclist was going across the street with a right-of-way and the teen motorist striking him when making a left hand turn at the flashing yellow arrow light, said Sloan. The bicyclist was struck in the No. 1 lane and there wasn’t a blind spot.

“It was driver inattention causing the accident,” he said.

The condition of the injured teen is unknown. He was flown to Renown Medical Center in Reno with a laceration to the head. The collision caused the teen on the bicycle to go into the windshield of the vehicle, said Sloan.

The Nevada Office of Vital Statistics announced Tuesday that for the first time, it joins many other states in being able to send vital event data such as birth and death certificates automatically and electronically through an application named STEVE.
