BOY HURT WHEN BIKE HITS CAR

A 6-year-old boy was injured Tuesday when he rode his bicycle into a vehicle along Jefferson Street.

Paul Duncan, 1206 Jefferson, rode his bike into the car about 5:10 p.m. and suffered a cut on the forehead, said Cape Girardeau police Sgt. Carl Kinnison. Kinnison said the boy went by private vehicle to Southeast Missouri Hospital, where he was treated and released.

Kinnison said the accident took place just north of Park Street as the vehicle, driven by Mary Kuehnert, 33, of East Cape Girardeau, Ill., was pulling out of a private drive. Kuehnert had stopped the vehicle on a sidewalk to check the street for oncoming traffic, he said.

Kinnison said the boy was riding his bike east on the sidewalk when the accident occurred.
