A cyclist in the West Franklin Street bike lane was struck by a turning vehicle Tuesday afternoon and suffered minor injuries.

Callie Strachan was headed home from her internship at VCU Medical Center when, at 4:12 p.m., she was crossing North Madison Street and was struck by a car turning off Franklin onto Madison.

Strachan had the walk signal, she said, while the driver had a green light. An officer on the scene confirmed that the driver should have yielded to any cyclist or pedestrian. The driver was cited and given a summons.

"I guess the rain didn't help," Strachan said after being treated at the scene. "I was trying to brake, but it wasn't happening fast enough."

Strachan, who was wearing a helmet, suffered "road rash" to her left leg, which medical personnel bandaged. She declined further medical attention.
