Mobile, AL - Bicyclist Injured in Crash at Dauphin St and Carlen St

Mobile, AL (July 30, 2025) – A crash involving a bicyclist took place Monday afternoon, July 28, at a busy intersection in Mobile, leaving one person with injuries.

Authorities were called to the scene shortly after 1:15 p.m. following reports of a collision between a motor vehicle and a person riding a bicycle at the intersection of Dauphin Street and Carlen Street. Emergency crews arrived quickly and began treating the injured cyclist on-site before transporting them to a local hospital for additional care.

At this time, details about what led up to the crash remain limited. Witnesses reported that traffic was slowed in the area as responders worked to assess the scene and clear debris. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with officers.

The identity of the cyclist has not been released. Investigators with the Mobile Police Department are continuing to look into the circumstances of the accident to determine fault and whether any citations will be issued.

We hope the injured cyclist makes a quick and full recovery.

Bicycle Accidents in Alabama

Crashes involving bicycles in Alabama often lead to painful injuries and long recovery periods. Here are a few key issues surrounding these types of accidents:

• Lack of Physical Protection: Cyclists have very little shielding in the event of a crash. Even when wearing helmets, they are exposed to significant harm from vehicles or the roadway itself.

• Intersection Dangers: Intersections like Dauphin Street and Carlen Street are common sites for these collisions. Drivers may fail to yield, misjudge a cyclist’s speed, or not see them at all while turning.

• Driver Inattention: One of the leading causes of bicycle accidents is distracted driving. Phones, navigation systems, or even conversations can take a driver’s eyes off the road at a critical moment.

• Inadequate Infrastructure: Not all areas have dedicated bike lanes or clear signage. Shared roads can create confusion and raise the risk of collisions, particularly during peak travel times.

• Long-Term Consequences for Cyclists: Even minor crashes can cause broken bones, concussions, or internal injuries. Victims may face mounting medical bills and lost wages while they recover.
