A serious bike accident occurred on Royal Saint George Drive near Ogden Avenue late Saturday morning, causing a section of the road to be closed off for hours. Local residents and witnesses described a scene marked by police activity, a damaged bicycle, and what some reported as a large puddle of blood, raising concerns about the severity of the incident.

The accident took place around 9:30 or 10:20 AM, though the exact time remains unclear. Witnesses driving past the area reported seeing multiple police vehicles and a section of Royal Saint George closed to southbound traffic. A witness recalled seeing a yellow-vested individual with a tripod, presumably capturing images for the investigation, while police collected evidence at the scene. The road remained closed for several hours, with cleanup and investigations wrapping up around 2 PM.
One Naperville resident, on their way to a soccer game, shared that they turned around after seeing the aftermath. Another witness, driving by at 11:30 AM, noticed a bicycle near what appeared to be a significant pool of blood. “It was awful,” they commented. “Several friends saw the aftereffects, but no one knew exactly what had happened.”
Several people noted seeing a jeep at the scene, with some believing a woman was driving and possibly involved in the accident. However, details about how the crash unfolded or who might be at fault remain unknown. “They were taking pictures of everything, even inside the car,” one witness reported. “They didn’t clear everything until the afternoon.”
While specifics about the accident have yet to be confirmed, some speculation has surfaced on social media, indicating that a cyclist was struck. Authorities have yet to release further information about the condition of the cyclist or the outcome of the investigation.
The incident highlights the importance of safety for both cyclists and drivers, especially at busy intersections. “Who’s at fault? I’m not going to make assumptions,” one local resident commented. “Either way, both bicyclists and drivers need to pay attention to what’s around them. Always.”
As of now, local police have not made any public statements about the accident, but updates are expected as the investigation continues.
