A cyclist received critical injuries late Thursday after colliding with a car in downtown Austin, police said.

Officials said the crash happened at the intersection of Fifth and Nueces streets at about 10:14 p.m. The cyclist, a 22-year-old man, was heading south on Nueces Street and collided with the car, which was eastbound on Fifth Street. Police said witnesses reported that he appeared to run a stoplight.

The cyclist was taken to University Medical Center at Brackenridge.

Ahlee over at the ATXFixed blog came upon this crash scene last night:

Here's what he had to say about it:

I don't know too many details. I was leaving work and saw all this. There was a truck with a smashed windshield and a bike demolished in the middle of the road. The cyclist was nowhere to be found so I can only assume he/she was taken to the hospital.

Anyone have any details? If so please let us know. Hope you're ok, biker.
