Danville Police are investigating a collision involving a motorist and a bicyclist that occurred on Green Valley Road Wednesday afternoon.

According to Police Chief Steve Simpkins, around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, a 14-year-old juvenile male was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk along Green Valley Road near Hope Lane. The bicyclist attempted to veer around garbage cans on the sidewalk and ended up in the roadway where he collided with an automobile.

The accident caused the closure of Green Valley Road between Diablo Road and Stone Valley Road for several hours.
