LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A 53-year-old Lincoln bicyclist has died, 10 days after he was hit by a car as he tried to cross a city street.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/1Fv1rLa ) Larry Lienemann died Thursday at a Lincoln hospital. He had been hit while riding his bike on May 11.

Police say Lienemann was riding south on the 84th Street sidewalk when he tried to cross the street at the intersection of Pinedale Avenue.

Police say a 26-year-old woman, who was driving north on 84th Street, tried to avoid hitting Lienemann, but thought she would collide with oncoming traffic. She turned back into her original lane, hitting Lienemann.

Officer Katie Flood said no citations have been issued, but the accident is still under investigation.
