(Sheldon)– A Sheldon man was injured Tuesday after being struck by a vehicle while riding a bicycle.
The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says 55-year-old Douglas Roth of George was driving a 2004 Pontiac westbound on a county road about four miles north of Sheldon, and 59-year-old Michael Ahlers of Sheldon was riding a bicycle, also westbound. Deputies say Roth was attempting to pass Ahlers when he collided with the bicycle.
Ahlers was taken to Sanford Sheldon Medical Center. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injuries.
Roth was cited for operating a motor vehicle without insurance and operating a motor vehicle too close to a bicyclist.
The incident took place around 5:15 pm.
