BETHANY, Oregon — A bicyclist was taken to the hospital Saturday afternoon after a collision with a car in Bethany, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said. 

Just before 5:30 p.m., the crash happened at the intersection of Northwest Kaiser Road and Northwest Mitchell Street, the sheriff's office tweeted.

The bike made a sudden turn in front of the car, and the car did not have time to stop before hitting the bike, investigators said.

The bicyclist was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, deputies said.

He was taken to a hospital with what appeared at the time to be serious injuries, but he was released late last night or early this morning, a police spokesman told KGW.

The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. They were not charged or cited.
