A 49-year-old Cedar Park woman riding a bicycle collided with an 18-wheeled truck in Cedar Park around 8:45 a.m. today but will be treated and released from Brackenridge Hospital, officials said.

Police said Bridget Holliday was biking west in the 3800 block of FM 1431, also called Whitestone Boulevard in that area, when she hit the back axle of the truck after it pulled out of a driveway and was turning east.

Holliday was airlifted to Brackenridge unconscious and with apparent head injuries, police said. Hospital officials said shortly before noon today that she would be treated and released.

Investigators said Holliday was wearing protective head gear and was riding legally on the roadway. She left tire skid marks in front of the truck from trying to stop, police said. No citations against the truck driver had been issued but police said the accident was still being investigated.
