A biker was struck by a car door at about 8:45 p.m. yesterday in front of Savory, located near 37th and Spruce streets.
According to witnesses, a driver's side car door opened and the biker collided with it. The biker then flipped over the door and landed on the pavement.
"I saw a man on the ground and they'd taken his shirt off. He looked like he was in excruciating pain," said College senior Melanie Foreman, who walked past the scene shortly after the incident.
Foreman added that the man tried to sit up, but paramedics made him sit back down.
"It made my stomach contract and it was really scary," she said.
A policeman at the scene of the incident said the victim had been transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The HUP Emergency Department would not comment on the victim's condition.
Police could not provide further details last night.
