A person was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital after a collision between a car and an electric bicycle in Vandergrift on Friday afternoon, borough police Officer Joe Gray said.

The incident happened shortly before 3:30 p.m. in the area of Sherman Avenue and the Vandergrift Bridge, Gray said.

The person on the bicycle was described as a female; Gray would not release her age. Police did not know if she was wearing a helmet.

A woman was driving the car and remained at the scene.

Gray said police did not believe the driver was hurt.

The road was partially shut down for 45 minutes while police investigated, Gray said. Police cleared the scene at 4:10 p.m.

The bicyclist was on Farragut Avenue and the car was on Sherman Avenue, Gray said.

As they continued to investigate, police were combing the area for video footage from businesses and homes that would show what happened, Gray said.
