A 22-year-old Perinton man in in critical condition in a medically-induced coma after being hit by a car Thursday evening while trying to cross Whitney Road on his bicycle. Deputies say sun glare may have contributed to the accident.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says Vincent Jacobs of Perinton had just finished talking with friends at the Pines of Perinton and then rode his bike down a path that leads across Whitney Road to Park Street. According to multiple witnesses, Jacobs never stopped or yielded to traffic on Whitney Road. An eastbound car hit him, tossing him into the path of a westbound car that also struck him.
Jacobs was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. Whitney Road was closed between Route 250 and Lidestri foods during the investigation.
