MARBLEHEAD — A bicyclist received non-life-threatening injuries Thursday after being hit by a car near Pleasant Street and Mohawk Road — the intersection where Alessandra "Allie" Castner was struck and killed by a car in August 2009.

The driver of the vehicle in Thursday's incident, Daniel Lynch of 29 Commercial St. in Marblehead, was issued a citation for a crosswalk violation.

Police said the incident occurred at 5:27 p.m.

"The victim of the accident was transported to Salem Hospital by Atlantic Ambulance," police said.
