The crash occurred in the 1600 block of North Victory Corner Road, between Hansen and Decker roads. According to personnel on scene, the Ford F-150 pickup and the bicyclist were both northbound on Victory Corner Road when the bicyclist pulled into the path of the truck in an attempt to pull into a driveway.
