According to Channel 4, it happened at the corner of Glendale and Ferry. The young man on the bike came speeding down Glendale Street through a red light and went right over the cruiser. He landed by the light post at the corner of Shute and Ferry by Darhee.
So sad for all concerned. It was stated the the police officer was very distraught (obviously he would be) and had to be taken to the hospital himself.

Bicyclist seriously hurt after striking police cruiser
By O’Ryan Johnson
A young bicyclist struck an Everett police cruiser as it raced to a 911 call last night, seriously wounding the biker who flipped over the car and crashed head first into a traffic signal pole, several witnesses said.
“I was standing right here with everyone,” said Chelsea Graves, 19, who lives at the intersection of Ferry Street and Glendale Street where the crash happened.
“Cop car came down here with the sirens on. He had lights and sirens. He had a green light. The kid came down on his bike and ignored everything. Right when I seen him the car clipped him and he hit the pole,” Graves said.
Everett police said the officer was answering a 911 call but gave no details. They refused to identify the bicyclist or provide any information on his injuries or condition. The bicyclist was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital. The officer involved in the crash was hospitalized for stress, police said. The crash is under investigation. The officer is 27 years old.
Witness Genrri Rosario, 12, was walking home with a friend when he spotted the cruiser, a newer model Dodge Charger, turn on its lights and sirens.
“The sirens came on, then the cop kept on going. Then the bike just kept on speeding down the hill. He didn’t stop,” Rosario said. “The bike flipped over the cop car. Right there where all the blood is. I saw that the head was bleeding. I told the cop, ‘It wasn’t your fault.’ ”
Witnesses said the victim appeared to be about 20 years old. A woman who checked his pulse said it was weak.

EVERETT, Mass. -- A bicyclist who was struck by an Everett police officer responding to a 911 call has been identified, Everett police chief Steven Mazzie said.
Reda Rouf, 19, of Everett, was riding his bike down Glendale Street, when he was struck by the officer at about 8 p.m. Tuesday on Ferry Street. The officer had his cruiser's lights on at the time of the crash.
"I saw the cop put his lights on over there and then this guy (on the bike) came speeding down the hill and he never stopped,” said witness Genrii Rosario.
The bicycle flipped over the top of the cruiser and Rouf landed on the sidewalk just feet way, witnesses said.
Witnesses said the officer had the green traffic light in his favor.
"The cop was just holding the man's pulse and he was yelling 'I'm losing his pulse. I'm losing his pulse.' Someone covered him with a blanket, and the cop was crying. He was so upset," said Alli Cromwell.
Rouf, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Everett police had issued a press release Thursday in which the department erroneously stated that Rouf had died. The department has apologized for issuing incorrect information.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family,” said Mazzie.
The police officer also needed treatment.
"He's shaken up a lot. He's a young officer. He's shaken up and went to the hospital as well," said Mazzie.
Police did not release the name of the officer. The incident is under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police.
