Former NFL quarterback Joey Harrington was riding a bicycle in Southeast Portland Sunday night when he was struck from behind by a car, Portland police said.

Harrington, 33, was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to police.

The accident occurred at 8:24 p.m. near Southeast Foster and 88th Avenue. Harrington was riding westbound on Foster Street when a motorist heading westbound struck Harrington's rear bicycle wheel, causing the crash, police said.

The driver of the vehicle, Derek Johnston, 26, remained at the scene in his Toyota RAV4, and cooperated with investigators.

Police cited Johnston for following too close.

Harrington, who also was a star quarterback for the University of Oregon's Ducks, is now working as a radio analyst for Fox Sports in Portland.
