The Vincennes Police Department is reminding motorists to be on the look out for bike riders.
They recently reported that on Tuesday, officers responded to a total of ten accidents.
Of these ten accidents, two were vehicle vs. bicycle.
Both vehicle vs. pedalcyclists accidents occurred because the bike riders disregarded stop signs or traffic lights.
