CORONA DEL MAR -- A bicyclist suffered a broken leg after he was

struck by a vehicle Friday afternoon on Pacific Coast Highway near Dahlia

Street.

At about 4:30 p.m., Dan Brian Smith, 41, of Huntington Beach, was

riding north on his bicycle when he collided with the opening door of a

parked white Volkswagen Cabriolet. He then swerved into traffic,

officials said.

Smith was then stuck by a black Land Rover, which was also heading

north.

Smith suffered a compound fracture to his lower left leg and multiple

abrasions. Officials said the cyclist may also have sustained internal

injuries, but that they are not life-threatening. He was treated at Hoag

Hospital.
