Police: Omaha Man Arrested for Hitting Cyclist

omaha-policeOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have arrested a driver who they say seriously injured a bicyclist and left the scene.

Sgt. Joe Collins says police arrested the man Tuesday afternoon following a brief search. It’s unclear if he has been charged.

He says 45-year-old General Swayzer suffered broken vertebrae in his neck, several lacerations to his scalp and possibly paralysis. He was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center.

His condition is unclear but Collins says he is expected to survive the injuries.
