Nicholas A. Dye, 14, and mother, Nichole Stricklin, came to the Harrisburg Police Department to report Dye had been struck, according to Chief Bob Smith.

A black car driven by Chalet N. Conner of 716 S. McKinley St. struck the rear of Dye's bike which threw him off the bike at the intersection of two alleys in that area, Smith said.

Dye said Conner and her passenger, Zach Atkins, took Dye into their residence and tended to his wounds.

Stricklin later took Dye to Harrisburg Medical Center where he received three stitches above his eye, gravel removed from beneath his lower eyelid, a sling for a hairline fracture in his elbow, treatment of road rash and a bruised lung, according to family friend Tracy Felty.

No citations have been issued, Smith said.
