A bicyclist was struck along the northbound lanes of U.S. 119, known as Corridor G, early Wednesday morning.
The man, identified as 30-year-old John Jump, of Nitro, was hit at approximately 5 a.m., said Sgt. Randy Sampson, traffic commander of the Charleston Police Department. Jump was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center's General Hospital, where he is in critical condition. Sampson said Jump's family has been notified of the accident.
The driver, a Logan man, has not been charged as of Wednesday morning; however, Sampson said an investigation into the accident is ongoing.
Corridor G was closed after the accident, and reopened for morning rush hour traffic. Partial lane closures will occur in the area after rush hour, so police can take measurements at the scene.
