MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say a teenager was seriously injured after being struck by a police car in Indiana while riding a bike.
State police say in a statement that the 17-year-old boy from Muncie was riding about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday when he disregarded a red light at an intersection. Police say one car approaching the light stopped to avoid him, but the teen then rode into the path of a Muncie police car.
