A 22-year-old Kansas University student is in serious condition at Kansas University Hospital after being hit by a truck Tuesday while riding a bicycle across the intersection of Iowa Street and Harvard Road.

Matthew G. Koontz was critically injured by a truck traveling northbound on Iowa Street about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the truck, a commercial vehicle, ran a red light at the intersection while Koontz was crossing Iowa Street.

A LifeStar helicopter landed in nearby Centennial Park to transport Koontz to the KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.

McKinley said the truck driver, Joseph Michaels, 29, of Overbrook, was not injured. No citations had been issued Tuesday, and police did not have more information Wednesday.

A LifeStar helicopter landed at Centennial Park and picked up a critically injured patient who was involved in an accident shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday at Iowa Street and Harvard Road.

A cyclist was transported by helicopter with critical injuries in an accident with a car about 12:50 p.m. Tuesday at Iowa Street and Harvard Road. One lane of northbound traffic was stopped near the accident at about 1 p.m.
