winner Gene Hackman was briefly hospitalized with bumps and bruises Friday after a pickup truck bumped him from behind while he was riding a bicycle in the Florida Keys, his publicist said. The 81-year-old Hackman was airlifted to a Miami hospital and released several hours later after routine tests, said publicist Susan Madore. Hackman was riding on an Islamorada street around 3 P.M. when the pickup hit the back of his bicycle, throwing him onto the grassy shoulder, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. No charges were immediately reported. During a career that has spanned five decades, Hackman has won two Academy Awards and been nominated for three others.
