BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A 13-year-old boy was struck by a van and injured while riding his bike across NE Greenwood Avenue in a lighted crosswalk Tuesday evening, Bend police said Wednesday.

The teen had activated the flashing crosswalk lights and was riding across the street at 12th Street and Greenwood Avenue when he was struck shortly before 6 p.m. by the driver of a van heading east, Bend Police Communications Manager Sheila Miller said.

The boy sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Miller said. Police cited the driver for careless driving.

Police did not release the name of the driver, she added, as he was not criminally charged, but cited for a traffic violation.
