A bicyclist was injured Aug. 28 on Santa Cruz Avenue near Hillview Middle School in Menlo Park when the occupant of a parked car opened a door as the cyclist was approaching in the bike lane.

The cyclist struck the door and sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to Menlo Park police spokesperson Nicole Acker.

The cyclist, who complained of pain, was taken to a hospital.

The accident occurred between Hillview Drive and Olive Street during an open house event for the new Hillview Middle School campus.

Opening a car door without checking for approaching traffic is illegal. Was the car driver cited?
