The accident happened at CA-135 near the US-101 onramp at approximately 7:30 a.m. Police reported that the boy was riding in the opposite direction of traffic and not wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.

Bicycles on California’s Roadways

Drivers and bicyclists share the responsibility for keeping roads safe. Serious injuries or death to bicyclists can occur from something that might seem very minor to a driver. Checking for a bicyclist before beginning a turn, changing lanes or even opening a car door are just a few ways that drivers can cause injuries to bicyclists.
