Unfortunately, the boy has now become part of a troubling set of statistics.  Every year, approximately 700 people are killed on bicycles in the United States, and the vast majority of these fatalities occur as a result of a collision between a bicycle and a car, truck, van or SUV.  There are also more than 40,000 injuries as a result of bicycle accidents in the country on an annual basis.
