Firefighters had to cut the driver out of the SUV.

Investigators believe the Nissan Pathfinder went through the intersection with the red traffic light at Columbia Street and Fourth Plain and crashed into a Land Rover Discovery. Then, the Land Rover went on to hit a bicyclist.

"The Discovery rotated counter-clockwise striking a bicyclist that was also heading southbound next to the Discovery. The Discovery rolled onto its passenger side, ending up at the southwest corner of the intersection. The Nissan Pathfinder ended up facing east in the middle of the intersection," Lt. Martin Holloway, Vancouver Police Department said. "The bicyclist was knocked to the ground."

The driver of the Discovery, Irene Sheppard, 54, had to be cut out of her SUV. She was transported to a local hospital but her injuries were not life-threatening, Holloway said.

The bicyclist, John Schaffers, 54, was also transported to a local hospital. He had minor injuries.

The driver of the Nissan Pathfinder, Angel Vasquez-Garcia, 20, was not injured. He was cited for failure to obey a traffic device and no insurance.

The crash happened around 7 a.m.
