A jury was selected Monday morning in the trial of a Baldwin City man accused of striking a Lawrence bicyclist with his vehicle.

Scott A. Young, 48, faces an aggravated battery charge and other counts related to a July 15 incident south of Lawrence.

During a November preliminary hearing, two Lawrence bicyclists said an angry driver drove up behind them on East 1400 Road, south of Broken Arrow Park, and yelled obscenities before swerving over and striking the lead rider, Rob Wilshusen, who suffered cuts to his shoulder back and hip, and a hematoma on his left hip.

A sheriff’s officer in November testified Young told him during an interview that he didn’t recall striking any riders but that he heard a noise as he passed the riders.
