A Moran man was injured Thursday when the bicycle he was riding was struck by a vehicle south of Iola.

“She came up behind him and just didn’t see him,” Maness said.

Briggs was flown via helicopter from nearby Riverside Park in Iola to a metropolitan hospital.

His condition was not immediately known.

Thompson was not injured.
