A man was seriously injured last night after getting into a collision with a car while riding his bicycle.

Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers dispatched to the scene near Pacific Coast Highway and Ohio Avenue around 10:30PM in regard to a vehicle versus bike collision, said LBPD spokeswoman Nancy Pratt. Once authorities arrived, the bicyclist was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver remained at the scene.

As a result of the accident, eastbound Pacific Coast Highway was closed at Ohio for several hours last night and into early this morning.

The investigation is ongoing, Pratt said, and no other information was available. We will update this story as we learn more.
