Bicyclist airlifted after early crash

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) - A Madison County bicyclist was airlifted Sunday after he was struck by a vehicle.

Just before 3 a.m. Sunday a 20-year-old man riding a bicycle was struck by a vehicle. The bicyclist was not wearing any reflective lighting and was reportedly riding in the center of the line.

The bicyclist was also not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and required air-lift to University Hospital in Louisville.
