PORTLAND, Oregon — A bicyclist was injured and an e-scooter rider cited following a collision in downtown Portland on Saturday.

Police said embedded paramedics provided help to the bicyclist, who was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The scooter rider was cited for unlawful operation of a motor assisted scooter, a class D traffic violation.
The bicyclist was wearing a helmet. The scooter rider was not wearing a helmet.
