A 26-year-old man is back home from the hospital after he was struck in the street while riding his bicycle.
Ruben Torres Parra said he was on his bike around 6:30 a.m. Friday when he approached a roundabout at First Avenue and East 19th Street in Hialeah and was hit.
“I stopped at the stop sign. I didn’t see anything in the whole area, I didn’t see a sign of a car or anything,” said Torres Parra in Spanish. “The car came at a high speed. I was already in the middle of the intersection.”
The crash threw him off his bike and into the air before he landed on the pavement.
The wreck occurred at a traffic circle that is known for trouble.
“It has eight streets and that roundabout is very dangerous,” said the victim.
The aftermath of the crash left Torres Parra with a broken leg and ankle.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he spent three nights and now has rods in his leg.
As soon as he was released, he reunited with the good Samaritan that called 911 after witnessing the crash.
Police said the driver stayed on the scene following the crash.
