SAN DIEGO -- A bicyclist suffered serious injuries Tuesday in a collision with a catering truck at a Carmel Valley intersection, authorities reported.

Medics took the bicyclist to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla for treatment of serious facial cuts and other injuries, SDPD Sgt. Garry Collins said.
