Seattle, WA (August 4, 2025) – Emergency responders in Seattle were called to a crash involving a cyclist and a vehicle on Sunday at the intersection of NE 75th Street and Roosevelt Way NE, resulting in injuries to the cyclist.
The collision occurred in the Roosevelt neighborhood, a busy area known for its mix of vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. First responders arrived quickly and provided medical care to the cyclist, who sustained injuries in the impact. The extent of those injuries has not yet been made public.
Seattle Fire Department crews rendered aid on scene, and the injured cyclist may have been transported to a nearby medical facility for further treatment. The vehicle involved remained at the scene, and law enforcement officers launched an investigation to determine the cause of the collision.
The intersection was partially closed during emergency response operations, causing brief delays in the area. Officials have not released the identities of those involved, and it is unclear whether factors like visibility, right-of-way violations, or speed contributed to the incident.
Our thoughts go out to the injured cyclist, and we wish them a full and swift recovery.
Bicycle Accidents in Washington
Seattle has worked hard in recent years to become a bike-friendly city, with dedicated lanes and greenways added to key corridors—including Roosevelt Way NE. Despite these improvements, crashes involving cyclists remain a significant concern, especially at intersections like NE 75th St, where car and bicycle traffic converge frequently.
Bicyclists are particularly vulnerable in collisions, as even low-speed impacts can result in serious injuries. In Sunday’s case, the immediate medical response underscores the severity of the incident and the importance of quick access to care. Whether due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or limited intersection visibility, these crashes are often preventable.
Seattle’s Vision Zero plan aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries, yet accidents involving cyclists continue to highlight the gaps in traffic awareness and shared road responsibility. Education campaigns, infrastructure upgrades, and strong enforcement are key to protecting vulnerable road users.
If you’ve been injured while biking, understanding your rights and accessing proper support can be essential to your recovery—both physically and financially.
