Man Hospitalized After Bike Accident on Post Road

A 54-year-old homeless man is in critical condition at St. Vincent's Medical Center after Fairfield police discovered him following an apparent bicycle accident.

The man was found in the driveway of the People's United Bank at 1055 Post Road just after 9 p.m. Wednesday, according to the police report. His legs were on top of the bicycle and he was lying on his back, bleeding form an apparent head injury. Police said the man was unconscious and unresponsive.

Police could not find evidence at the scene to determine the man was hit by a vehicle while riding his bicycle. It appeared he fell off the bike, but investigators will review security footage from People's United Bank to determine what caused the accident, department spokesperson Sgt. Sue Lussier said.
