Macon, GA (December 2, 2021) – On Thursday, December 2, a bicycle crash with injuries occurred on a roadway in Macon.
According to Bibb County deputies, the accident happened at 694 Lower Poplar Street around the area of the Cox Café.

Paramedics, fire crews, and numerous other responders were called to the scene to help those in need. The bicyclist, who has not yet been identified, was taken to the hospital for treatment. They are expected to recover from their injuries.
Due to the severity of the accident, a portion of the roadway was blocked in the area for some time. This led to delays until police cleared the scene.
