A bicyclist collided with a vehicle on First Avenue East and was taken to Skiff Medical Center Monday evening, according to the Newton Police Department.
Morgan Meseke, 25, was riding a bicycle southbound on East 17th Street and crossing First Avenue East at about 5:15 p.m. when her bicycle struck the right front area of a Chrysler Town & Country driven by Virginia Meredith, 72, who was traveling westbound and had stopped at the traffic light at East 17th Street.
Meseke was taken to Skiff with unknown injuries, according to a report. She was conscious and able to speak with first responders on scene.
Meredith told police she had seen Meseke coming south on her bicycle and inched forward, honked her horn, but Meseke's bicycle still struck her.
The police report concludes Meseke was having a medical episode. No one has been cited.
Meseke recently joined the Newton YMCA as its Wellness Director. She was not at work Tuesday, according to YMCA Associate Executive Director Rhonda Robson, but she is at home recovering today with bumps and bruises.
