So often, we think of bicycle accidents in terms of cars and bikes colliding — but it’s important to remember that pedestrians and cyclists can also clash, with tragic results. For example: WUSA9 reports that a cyclist died this morning after hitting a pedestrian around 7:45 a.m. today.

The cyclist was apparently riding on the 1800 block of Bryant Street NE when a 14-year-old girl was crossing the street — the cyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, crashed into the girl and was thrown from the bike.

The cyclist, as yet unidentified, died at a local hospital after the accident; the teenager pedestrian was hurt, but not seriously.
