Deputies said that the man hit the iguana at which time it became lodged in between the front tire and fork. The front-wheel then locked up, which cause the man to be thrown over the handlebars of the bicycle.
The 62-year-old was transported to Fisherman’s Hospital where he was treated for injuries to his head, arms, and legs.
The iguana was pronounced dead at the scene.
