The Miami Herald reports that a BMW hit the cyclist, but Local 10 has pictures of a dark-green Jeep SUV with a dented windshield that was involved in the crash. The incident was not a hit-and-run.
Police have not released the male victim’s identity.
The man suffered a head injury and was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
