A bicyclist was hospitalized early Friday morning after a crash in the northeast valley.

At 1 a.m. officers from Metro and the North Las Vegas Police Department blocked off two lanes of Cheyenne east of the intersection, where a bicycle was laying on the ground.

The crash is still under investigation, Johansson said.
