The incident happened on 17th Street.

SARASOTA — Police are investigating a bicycle crash involving two children, the Sarasota Police Department reports.

According to police, a man was riding a bicycle on 17th Street shortly before 1:30 p.m. with a makeshift wagon attached to the back, carrying his two sons, ages 3 and 5. The bike struck a curb near U.S. 301/North Washington Boulevard and the children fell out. They were not securely buckled in or wearing helmets.

Both children were airlifted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg with non-life threatening injuries. The father was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital as a trauma alert with non-life threatening injuries.

A Sarasota police officer was eating lunch at the Hob Nob restaurant when the crash happened across the street.

“He was in the right place at the right time,” police spokesperson Genevieve Judge said.

No vehicles were involved and no charges are expected.
