Update, Aug. 28: The cyclist has since recovered fully.
Updated Aug. 23, 1:45 p.m.: The incident happened around 10 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Bear Hollow Dr. and state Route 224.
The Park City Fire District said the cyclist went to the hospital in critical condition.
Parkite Robert Follett said he was one of the first people to reach the cyclist after the incident. He said the man “appeared to have an event causing him to crash” and was unconscious.
No other cars, cyclists or pedestrians were involved. Follett said the man slowly turned to the right until he hit the curb near the bottom of Bear Hollow Drive.
Another man called 911, and Follett said an EMT who was at Park City Gardens at the time came over to assist.
Another man, retired police officer Ross Heaton, was on his way to Basin Rec and stopped to help. Heaton said he started chest compressions while the EMT did mouth-to-mouth.
Another bystander who was a doctor detected a pulse, Heaton said, and eventually the cyclist coughed slightly. The retired officer called the University of Utah Medical Center, which told him the patient arrived alive.
Neither the current condition nor the name of the cyclist involved have been released.
