A bicyclist was hit by a car at approximately 7 p.m. on Monday night at the intersection of Hilyard Street and 18th Avenue.
The Eugene Police Department received the call at 7:11 p.m. and  arrived shortly after, according to Officer Trevor Hart. The victim, Ashleigh Fischer, a UO architecture graduate student, was conscious and breathing when police arrived at the scene and she was taken to the hospital.
The driver was 23-year-old William Campbell, who was turning north onto Hilyard on a green light when he hit the cyclist.
“(When I was turning) out of the corner of my eye I saw something too close to my car,” Campbell, a Lane Community College student, said.
Campbell received a citation for the incident. His car was towed away at the scene due to the lack of insurance on his car. According to Campbell, he did not have insurance on the car because he just got it two weeks ago.
