Details/Summary:
On April 24, 2026, at 10:19pm, the Fort Wayne Police Department received reports of a vehicle-vs-bicyclist injury accident near the intersection of Lima Rd and Cumberland Ave. Officers arrived and located an adult male bicyclist in life-threatening condition.

The female was not struck/injured. The adult male driver of the vehicle that struck the bicyclist was not injured, either, and remained on scene to cooperate with officers.
Investigators are currently processing the scene, taking measurements and collecting any evidence – including any video from nearby buildings – to assist with piecing the incident together. Both northbound and southbound Lima Rd at Cumberland Ave will remain closed for the duration of the investigation.
There is nothing further at this time.
