SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Spokane Fire Department officials said freezing fog contributed to a bicyclist being run over by a car early Monday morning.
It happened around 6: 22 a.m. near Union and Fancher just south of the Spokane River.
The man on the bicycle was riding on Union approaching the Fancher intersection, but the car did not see the bicycle because of the fog. The bicyclist tried to stop on the road covered by frozen fog, but laid the bike down and skidded on the frozen ground into the path of the car that then ran over the man's leg.
He was taken to the hospital by an ambulance with a broken leg.
