Bike crash on Backlick Road in Springfield

We were contacted by a cyclist who crashed while riding on Backlick Rd near Highland St just south of I-495 in Springfield.  The road is being repaved and there's a 2 to 3 inch ridge in the roadway. 


The cyclist was riding at night with lights and wasn't able to see the ridge and fell, fracturing his scapula and two ribs. This is a very dangerous situation, especially at night so be careful if riding in this location.
