Irvine, CA – 20-Year-Old UC Irvine Student Injured in Bicycle Accident

Irvine, CA (January 12, 2019) On the morning of January 10^th, a 20-year-old student was injured in a bicycle accident at the intersection of Campus Drive and Stanford Court at approximately 9:09 a.m.

According to the reports, a white Toyota sedan with ride-share livery struck the 20-year-old bicyclist near the University of California, Irvine, for unknown reasons.

When the paramedics arrived at the scene, they found the bicyclist laying in the roadway several feet away from his bike. They transported him to OC Global Medical Center for further evaluation and treatment. His name and the extent of his injuries has not been released at this time.

Fortunately, the driver responsible remained at the crash site and cooperated with the authorities. Crews shut down all lanes on Campus Drive for six hours as they cleared and investigated the scene.

We are glad that the bicyclist did not lose his life in this accident and we hope he fully recovers from all injuries.

Bicycle Accidents in California

The reason almost 1,000 bicycle accidents happen every year is because drivers don’t usually look out for bicyclists on the road even though they’re required to by law. Even though bicyclists aren’t considered vehicles, they still have to follow the same traffic laws, which means they deserve equal respect on the road.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine if the bicyclist or the Toyota had the right of way. They’re also checking to see if negligence played a role in this accident. Once they finalize their reports, it’s likely that the injured student will file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury lawyer.
