No citations were issued following a car v. bicycle accident on Oct. 25 in the 400-block of S. Fillmore St.
According to an Osceola police report, Sandra Baringer, Woodburn, was traveling southbound on S. Fillmore St. in a 2016 Toyota Prius. Barginer stopped at the stop sign at W. McLane St., and then proceeded south on S. Fillmore St. At the same time, Shellie Adams was stopped at the stop sign on W. McLane to head north on S. Fillmore St.
During this time, Justin Wickett, Osceola, was traveling west on Highway 34 on a bicycle on the sidewalk. Wickett observed Adams stopped at the stop sign, but did not see Baringer, who had already begun crossing Highway 34/McLane St. to continue south. As Wickett rode in from to Adams’ vehicle, Baringer exited the highway back onto S. Fillmore St., striking Wickett on his bicycle. The collision caused Wickett to fly off of his bicycle and land on the ground.
Wickett was transported to Clarke County Hospital via EMS. Damage is estimated at $200 to the 2016 Toyota.
