Cyclists hitA Plymouth woman received minor injuries after being struck by a pick-up truck while riding her bicycle.

About 7:30 Sunday evening April 16th 50 year old Pam Mahler Lee was riding a bicycle west bound on Lincoln Highway.  A 1999 Ford F-350 pick-up truck driven west bound by 63 year old Richard D. Murray of Plymouth stuck the bicycle.

Mrs. Mahler-Lee was transported to the Plymouth hospital with minor injuries.

Glare from the setting sun is believed to have also been a factor in the collision.

Plymouth Fire/EMS assisted the Marshall County Police Department at the scene of the collision.

The Marshall County Police Department would like to remind all residents who travel on county roads to be cautious of increased bicycle and pedestrian traffic now that warmer weather has arrived.
