UPDATE:
While Craig Ostrowski, a senior visual communications and glass blowing major, was riding his bike home from class, a car hit him, breaking his leg.
"I had the green light ... and I was at the intersection at the architecture building and Robert Bell and the car in front of [the driver who hit me] cut me off, so I had to swerve out of the way or I would’ve gotten hit," Ostrowski said. "[The driver who hit me] was right behind him and I guess he was so close to them he didn’t see me."
Ostrowski said his tibula "snapped in half" and he has a cast up to his thigh.
He also had a concussion and was in the emergency room for four hours after he was hit and had to get a CAT Scan and X-ray.
