Witnesses told police Graeser was on a Diamondback Approach bicycle riding north on James Street "approaching" (pun intended?) Kaneville Road. The bicycle “entered the intersection without stopping and struck the driver’s side” of the Ford Explorer, reports said. Three witnesses were all from Geneva.
Geneva police reports don't say how much damage was done to each vehicle, but they do say that more than $1,500 damage was done to "any one person’s vehicle." The police report indicates that no one was taken to the hospital following the collision.
