DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio college student who was struck and run over by a firetruck while riding a bicycle is suing the city.

The Dayton Daily News reports that then-18-year-old Quinton Kane suffered serious injuries in the collision two years ago. He was riding in a bike lane when the firetruck making a nonemergency run didn’t yield and struck him while turning into a parking lot.

Dayton fire officials said at the time there were three firefighters and one fire lieutenant aboard the emergency vehicle when the collision occurred.

The lawsuit filed this month by the University of Dayton student seeks at least $25,000.

A message seeking comment on the lawsuit was left today for a city spokeswoman.
