Teen Injured After Bicycle Crashes Into Patrol Car

|

A 16-year-old was injured after crashing his bicycle into a sheriff’s patrol car in Palmdale, California. The boy was seriously injured when he entered the intersection when the patrol vehicle had the green light. The deputy was not able to stop in time, and the collision happened between the bicyclist and the car. The boy suffered multiple injuries and listed in serious condition at a local hospital. The vehicle had a shattered windshield, but the deputies were uninjured in the crash.

Pedestrian accidents send over 65,000 people to the emergency room each year. Sometimes pedestrian’s safety on the road is not protected by crosswalks because many pedestrians choose not to use it or use it incorrectly. Anyone utilizing a crosswalk needs to abide by the proper signals and signs. Pedestrian accidents can be preventable if all parties stay alert and abide by all traffic signs and signals. However, if you suffer injuries in a pedestrian accident at no fault of your own, you could be entitled to compensation. Medical costs for injuries can be expensive and result in thousands of dollars owed for your care. This can be difficult for victims who are already suffering due to their injuries.
