Seattle police say they are investigating a collision involving a vehicle and two cyclists at the intersection of Aurora Avenue North and Roy Street on Monday morning.
According to the Seattle Police Department (SPD), a truck collided with two cyclists at around 4:20 a.m.
Responding officers found two people, a man and a woman, who had been hit in the street while on a Lime bike together. Both were taken to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, SPD says.
KIRO 7 spoke to the family of the injured woman, 19-year-old Leiloni Twinn, who remains in the hospital fighting to recover. Her family has started a GoFundMe to help with medical costs and recovery.
Police say a third person, a man in his 20s, was on his own bike or scooter heading east along Roy Street, and turned left when he got to Aurora Avenue. The other two were allegedly trying to follow, but instead of turning left, they pulled out into the southbound lanes of Aurora Avenue, where they were hit.
The three were unfamiliar with the area, police said.

SPD confirmed that the truck driver had no signs of impairment and released him from the scene.
Police originally said that all southbound lanes of Aurora Avenue would be blocked for an extended period of time, at least until 8 a.m., but due to traffic backups on SR 99, the roadway was reopened by 7 a.m.
