A bicyclist was taken to the hospital with possible life threatening injuries after being hit shortly before sunrise Thursday morning.
College Station police and fire units blocked one of the westbound lanes of University between Spring Loop and Tarrow.
Officers were told the bicyclist was trying to pass a pickup as the driver of the truck was trying to turn out of a private drive near Comfort Suites onto University.
The driver told investigators they stopped before starting the turn and didn’t see the bicyclist, who had been on the sidewalk.
An unidentified woman from College Station who was riding the bike was not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing. And the bicycle did not have lights.
