According to Eugene Police Public Information Coordinator Paula Hunt, witnesses were more upset than the parties involved in the accident. The bicyclist sustained a minor scratch and the driver remained at the scene while the call was made. The bicyclist was reported to have not been wearing a helmet.

University of Oregon student Nathan Wallner tweeted about the incident and posted a photo:

Bicyclist meets car next to Starbucks on 13th. Are the roads safe enough for bikers around campus? @uoregon #uosojc via.me/-9xri3ro
